Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, ameliorates inflammation and apoptosis via inhibition of receptor for advanced glycation end products signaling in AGEs induced chondrocytes

Cross-Sectional Study
Animal
2024 Jul 30

The study found that liraglutide helps protect cartilage cells from damage caused by AGEs by keeping important structural proteins like aggrecan and collagen II from breaking down.
