Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the cardiovascular protection, including: Blood pressure reduction : GLP-1 agents typically lower systolic blood pressure by 2-6 mmHg through natriuretic effects and improved endothelial function [5] Anti-inflammatory effects : Reduction in systemic inflammation markers including C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 Improved endothelial function : Enhanced nitric oxide availability and reduced oxidative stress Potential vascular effects : Emerging research suggests possible benefits on vascular function, though more human data are needed Additionally, GLP-1 medications have shown benefits in reducing albuminuria and slowing progression of diabetic kidney disease
