Abstract: This review aims to determine the influence of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) and exercise on the inflammatory response in individuals with metabolic syndrome.The most recent data on metabolic syndrome, inflammation, GLP-1, and exercise were obtained from PubMed.C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as a prominent marker of inflammation in metabolic syndrome.Given the proximity of metabolic tissues to immune cells, there is a dynamic interplay between inflammatory and metabolic responses through the vasculature.GLP1 exerts an antihyperglycemic effect by inhibiting glucose biosynthesis in the liver and increasing glucose uptake in skeletal muscles.Additionally, GLP1 has been identified as a novel anti-inflammatory agent.Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been demonstrated to exert anti-inflammatory effects while simultaneously reducing tumor necrosis factoralpha.Two mechanisms by which exercise can reduce inflammation are the release of interleukin-6 (IL-6) from muscles and the reduction of histone H4 acetylation.It has been demonstrated that exercise increases the levels of IL-6 in the body.This, in turn, induces the release of GLP-1 and improves insulin sensitivity.The combination of exercise and a GLP1 agonist has been demonstrated to reduce macrophage accumulation around blood vessels and to decrease CRP levels.This has been shown to reduce inflammation and the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome.The anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1 through exercise provide a compelling rationale for treating metabolic syndrome and serve as a foundation for developing exercise mimetics.
