    Summary
    lixisenatide inhibited the inflammatory response through downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8); inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); and blockade of cellular signaling pathways, including the c-…
