Whether you are dealing with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), lupus (SLE), Sjgrens disease (SD), or even osteoarthritis (OA), chronic inflammation keeps the immune system in a constant attack mode, leading to: Pain Swelling Stiffness Mobility problems Tissue and cartilage damage This chronic, ongoing inflammation not only makes joints hurt more, but it will worsen blood sugar control, fatigue, brain fog, and increase the risk of heart disease
GLP-1R activation has also been shown to suppress FLS proliferation and inhibit the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B) signaling pathway, leading to reduced inflammatory cytokine production and subsequent slowed tissue degradation[21]
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of GLP-1RAs observed in other organ systems may prevent damage in ocular tissues, leading to reduced risk of nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), exudative AMD, and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) compared to other diabetic medications (Figure 1)
