A recent mechanistic study using LDL receptordeficient mice and ox-LDLchallenged human endothelial cells demonstrated that liraglutide, one of the most widely studied GLP-1RAs, directly improves endothelial function by suppressing oxidative and inflammatory pathways ( in vitro experiments showed that liraglutide mitigated oxLDL-induced endothelial injury by suppressing NOX4 and NF-B signaling, and downregulating ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression ( 2.3 GLP-1RA modulation of promotion cholesterol efflux Beyond inflammation, impaired cholesterol efflux from macrophage-derived foam cells, mediated by key transporters such as ABCA1 and ABCG1, contributes to intracellular lipid accumulation and promotes plaque progression and instability ( A study in 2022 demonstrated that targeted GLP-1RA nanoparticles directly reduced vascular inflammation in ApoE/ mice, even at doses too low to affect glycemia or body weight ( Tnf and Icam1 expression with a concomitant increase in Arg1 , a marker of alternative macrophage activation
In addition, dyslipidemia and other traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as diabetes, hypertension, and smoking, activate the NADPH oxidase system, leading to excess superoxide anion production and promoting oxidative stress ( + T cell-mediated autoimmune reactions ( Ferroptosis, characterized by an iron-dependent increase in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, has been extensively studied in various diseases ( Abnormal lipid metabolism may also contribute to T cell dysfunction in vitiligo
