Incretin therapies and PPARγ activators as regulators of fat hormone and antioxidant pathways in diabetes-related heart disease

Updated

Abstract

Evidence indicates that incretin-based agents and PPARγ agonists may synergistically activate Nrf2 and inhibit NF-kB signaling.

  • Incretin-based therapies and PPARγ agonists are associated with improved oxidative status.
  • These agents may lead to increased levels of beneficial adipokines like adiponectin and omentin.
  • There is a potential reduction in levels of harmful adipokines such as resistin, leptin, and TNF-α.
  • Combined activation of incretin and PPARγ pathways could offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • This modulation of the adipokine-Nrf2 axis may contribute to reduced cardiovascular risk in diabetes.
