The observation in this study in hepatocytes that protein-SSG formation by either GSSG accumulation or treatment with a direct S -glutathionylation induction agent resulted in IKK--SSG formation, leading to its suppression, was supported by a previous study reporting that S -glutathionylation was associated with suppressed IKK- activity in epithelial cells 41
Others argue the sustained IGF-1 elevation is the primary therapeutic benefit regardless of the GH release pattern
This therapeutic strategy has shown successful outcomes in various neurodegenerative and neurological disorders (X
