Similar effects have been demonstrated in osteoarthritis models, where liraglutide facilitates macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype by downregulating M1-associated markers such as Mcp-1 and Cd38, while upregulating M2-related genes including Erg-2, reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mitigates inflammatory responses (Sawada et al., 2020)
