Abstract
Inflammation-induced vascular insulin resistance occurs early in diet-induced obesity and contributes to metabolic insulin resistance. We examined whether exercise and GLP-1 receptor agonism, alone or in combination, modulate vascular and metabolic insulin actions during obesity development. We found that exercise and liraglutide synergistically enhanced the metabolic actions of insulin and reduced perimicrovascular macrophage accumulation, vascular oxidative stress, and inflammation in the early stage of obesity development. Our data suggest that early combination use of exercise and a GLP-1 receptor agonist might be an effective strategy in preventing vascular and metabolic insulin resistance and associated complications during the development of obesity.
