Think of it like a carton of milk
Upregulated: collagen synthesis genes (COL1A1, COL3A1), antioxidant genes (SOD1, SOD3), DNA repair genes (GADD45A) Downregulated: inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-), metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9), pro-fibrotic mediators Net effect: shift from tissue destruction and inflammation toward repair and remodeling This breadth of gene modulation is unusual for a single tripeptide and has generated significant research interest in fields ranging from dermatology to neuroscience
The metabolic shifts induced by GLP-1 and GIP activation create conditions where the liver preferentially mobilizes stored triglycerides
Heres what nobody told her before she started
The most frequent offenders are (in this order) wheat, dairy, eggs, and corn
