As IGF-1 expression is induced as a result of GH binding to GHR, hepatic IGF-1 levels are predominantly regulated by GH that is produced by the pituitary
Glutathione is the master antioxidant of the body, and has been linked with improved health, enhanced performance, quicker recovery, slowed aging, increased energy and extended life span
Tregs take up lactate via MCT1 (encoded by Slc16a1), convert it to pyruvate for entry into the TCA, and generate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) via PEP carboxykinase (PEPCK), which feeds back to promote gluconeogenesis and nucleotide synthesis to support Treg proliferation

The free form crosses the blood-brain barrier easily, a standout property for any neuropeptide
This quantitative understanding is now driving the development of pathway-specific inhibitors, such as PKC- selective antagonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and glyoxalase-1, which have shown promise in preclinical models for breaking this cycle without globally suppressing physiologically important ROS signaling -Figure 3 (Oliveira et al., 2023
