Q: In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.
Context: Liraglutide improves the metabolic control of diabetic animals after islet transplantation. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of liraglutide on rat pancreatic islets in vitro and in vivo.', 'In vitro, rat islets were incubated with 10molL', 'Islet viability and function were preserved and enhanced with liraglutide treatment. Liraglutide decreased CCL2 and IL-6 secretion and macrophage activation after 12h of culture, while IL-10 secretion was unchanged. However, intracellular levels of ROS were increased with liraglutide treatment at 12h. This result was correlated with an increase of anti-oxidative capacity. In vivo, liraglutide decreased macrophage infiltration and reduced fasting blood glucose in transplanted rats.\Question: Is improvement of islet graft function using liraglutide correlated with its anti-inflammatory properties?
A:
The beneficial effects of liraglutide on pancreatic islets appear to be linked to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. These findings indicated that analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1 could be used to improve graft survival.
