Relation to Neuroprotection: Such synthetic substances bind to GLP-1 receptors in the cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and basal ganglia, triggering the following signal transduction: Switching off inflammatory NF-B downstream pathways like cytokines (IL-1/IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-)
Patient education should emphasize the limited evidence base, experimental nature of treatment, and importance of ongoing monitoring
Since products containing synthetic cannabamimetics may not list all their ingredients on the packaging label, the effects of the product could also be different than what the user may expect
One difference between their model and the one reported here is that deletion of Gclc is induced in hepatocytes of adult mice (which are slowly proliferating), compared to theirs, where deletion of Gclc occurred in hepatocytes of growing animals (which are rapidly proliferating)
Challenges for systemic peptide delivery to retina Size limitations: Most vision peptides relatively large molecules
