this was shown to protect against Ang II-induced injury in the heart and aorta, potentially associated with inhibition of NOX4 expression and preservation of mitochondrial integrity, reduced the protein levels of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and TGF1 and expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, and attenuated the proliferation of myofibroblasts culminating in reduced aortic wall thickness [81]
As a result, these types of medications formally known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1s could become more broadly available in the United States, where obesity affects around four-in-ten adults ages 20 and older
