A prospective proof-of-concept study by Nicolau et al 19 found that liraglutide treatment for three months resulted in a decrease in BMI (from 39.3 to 35.6 kg/m 2 ), waist circumference (from 121.3 to 110.6 cm), mean Hurley stage (from 2.6 to 1.1), DLQI (from 12.3 to 9.7), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (from 22 to 16.7), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (from 5.6 to 3.2), as well as a decrease in inflammatory markers such as CRP (from 4.5 to 3 mg/dL), homocysteine (from 16.2 to 13.3 mol/L), plasma morning cortisol (from 15.9 to 12.6 g/dL), and insulin (from 18.9 to 15.7 U/mL)
Guinea pigs (Hartley, both sexes, 500-700 g b.w.) with whole body plethysmography, urethane anesthesia (1.5 g/kg i.p.), artificial ventilation under constant pressure (0.98 kPa), and relaxation of skeleton musculature by suxamethonium (0.2 mg/kg i.v.) were used in the present experiments
