Validation revealed elevated GSS (2-fold) and its enzymatic product glutathione (1.7-fold) in tear fluid of amyloid PETpositive participants
Its antioxidant potential helps to restore elevated serum marker enzymes, reduce LPO, increase antioxidant enzyme levels, and lower the excretion of DNA adducts, thereby providing protection against liver toxicity induced by aflatoxin B1 (Dai et al., 2022)
The future of peptide therapeutics appears promising, with technological advances addressing traditional limitations while new applications and mechanisms continue to emerge
Structural focus: As a 16-amino acid peptide, this research compound is significantly smaller and more structurally defined than the 191-amino acid full GH molecule, making it a more tractable research tool for studying specific receptor-ligand interactions and downstream signalling mechanisms in controlled laboratory settings
