demonstrated that the GLP-1 analogue lixisenatide decreases atherosclerosis in insulin-resistant Apoe/Irs2+/ mice by promoting macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, which was associated with enhanced plaque stability (i.e., thicker fibrous caps, fewer necrotic cores, and decreased inflammatory infiltrates)
Finally, a four-year, multicenter, clinical trial in 421 diabetic patients with distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy found no difference between oral administration of 600 mg/day of lipoic and placebo on the primary endpoint, a composite score that assessed neuropathic impairment of the lower limbs and nerve conduction (78)
