Boosted Immune Function: Aids in fighting infections and diseases by supporting the function of immune cells
By working with neurotransmitters, mood regulation circuits, and possibly the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, DSIP may help reduce excessive stress hormones (like cortisol) and reduce the nervous systems on-edge state
However, caution should be taken when extrapolating these results to the clinic
So are GLP-1 medications that treat obesity and type 2 diabetes (among other diseases)
This includes studies exploring how DSIP or DSIP-like compounds may influence processes such as oxidative stress (cellular damage caused by unstable molecules), neuronal signaling (communication between brain cells), seizure activity, adaptation to low-oxygen environments, and mitochondrial function, which helps regulate cellular energy production [1112][1819]
