Potential direct anti-inflammatory mechanisms from preclinical and early clinical studies include: Modulation of immune cell function : GLP-1 receptor activation may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production from macrophages and other immune cells Reduction of oxidative stress : These medications may decrease reactive oxygen species production, which contributes to inflammatory processes Endothelial protection : GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve endothelial function and reduce vascular inflammation Inhibition of inflammatory signalling pathways : Including suppression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-B), a key regulator of inflammatory gene expression It's important to note that many of these mechanisms have been primarily demonstrated in laboratory or animal studies, with more limited evidence in humans
Postprandial glucose levels (measured two hours after eating) decreased by 36%
But exactly how berberine is effective to this end hasnt been explored until more recently
