Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain and digestive tract to reduce appetite and improve blood sugar control
Multi-level anti-inflammatory modulation reduces IL-6, TNF-alpha, and COX-2 expression, dampening the inflammatory response that can delay healing
The accumulation of AEGs and their binding to the receptor for glycosylation end-products (RAGE) promotes oxidative stress, which activates the NF-B signalling pathway, upregulates the expression of target genes and triggers inflammation (22)
The conversion from homocysteine to cystathionine by cystathionine -synthase (CBS) is described to be a key player in restoring intracellular cysteine pool as decreasing its expression increases sensitivity to ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells upon erastin treatment ( However, other systems downstream of cystine uptake can also play an important role
