Furthermore, given that calorie restriction-induced AMPK activation stimulates Nampt transcription [94], and metformin, an AMPK activator, activates intestinal AMPK [93,106,107,108], the effects of metformin administration on Nampt expression and GLP-1 production should be comprehensively tested in HFD-fed obese mice with impaired intestinal NAMPT-mediated NAD + biosynthesis [31]
In the lungs, GLP-1RAs attenuate acute lung injury by maintaining alveolar-capillary barrier function, reducing neutrophil infiltration, and promoting surfactant protein expression, potentially through suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activity
