Objective: To investigate the effects of Liraglutide on endothelial function, immune function and related factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 160 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who received treatment in department of endocrinology of our hospital from December 2015 to June 2018 were collected. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 80 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with metformin. The patients in the observation group were treated with liraglutide on the basis of the control group. The levels of endothelin (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin G (IgG), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- 毩), Vaspin and HbAlc were detected and compared. Results: After treatment, compared with the treatment group, the serum levels of ET-1, hs-CRP, IGF-1, TNF-毩 and HbAlc of patients in the control group and the observation group were significantly decreased, and the levels of NO, IgA, IgG, IgM and Vaspin increased significantly. The change trend of the above indexes of patients in the observation group was more obvious than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Liraglutide combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus can significantly enhance endothelial function and immune function of patients, and alleviate inflammation, and it has good clinical efficacy.
