Though the biological relevance of CIRTs is still largely unknown, their abundance in neuronal dendrites (and also in enucleated platelets) suggest that endogenous cytoplasmic transcripts harboring retained intronic substrates could be subject to extranuclear splicing, thereby obviating the need for shuttling molecules to and from the nucleus for processing (Buckley et al., In this order of ideas, it is tempting to speculate that CIRT in Gpx4-I gene may be part of the normal endogenous post-transcriptional regulation pathway
A subsequent study that followed 43 patients for up to four years found those with mild dementia or moderate-early dementia who took lipoic acid (600 mg/day), in addition to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, experienced slower cognitive decline compared to the typical cognitive decline of Alzheimers patients as reported in the literature (102)
Moreover, Recknagel, Glende Jr [51] and Szymonik-Lesiuk, Czechowska [52] revealed that CCl 4 metabolism generates free radicals, which cause liver tissue lipid peroxidation, higher MDA levels, and decreased antioxidant enzyme activity, including GPx, respectively
