Both peptides enhance cellular antioxidant systemsGHK-CU through direct antioxidant activity and Epithalon through gene expression modulationprotecting against oxidative stress and age-related damage
Other Functionalizations and Applications Thiol-ene chemistry has been used for a number of functionalizations that do not fall into the previous categories
Although fundamental 5A-1MQ and LD-mediated changes to the microbiome were identified, this work is similar to many current studies where further investigations will clarify if changes in the microbiome are causative or associative 100
Enhancing mitophagy in such cells (experimentally via PINK1 overexpression) could reduce ROS and inflammasome activity, highlighting the tight link between mitochondrial quality control and immune cell inflammatory status (65)
We also discuss their regulatory roles in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, such as glucosinolates, flavonoids, terpenoids, lignans, and astragalosides
