GLP-1 enhances insulin secretion and has various effects that help manage diabetes, including improving endothelial function linked to type 2 diabetes.
A study compared the effects of GLP-1 infusion on endothelial function and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes patients and healthy subjects.
Results showed that GLP-1 improved endothelial function in diabetic patients but did not significantly affect their insulin sensitivity, suggesting its potential benefits for vascular health in diabetes treatment.
