Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated approximately 38% oral bioavailability and blood-brain barrier penetration, unusual for a peptide-based compound and attributable to Dihexa's small size (504.66 Da) and hydrophobic modifications
113,644 Astrocyte-selective expression of PD related A53T mutant -synuclein causes severe downregulation of glutamate transporters expression, resulting in neuronal damage, aberrant microgliosis and paralysis
Chronic inflammation can damage tissues and impair stem cell function
Reducing the expression levels of acetyl-CoA synthetase reverses acetate-induced IFN- production, suggesting that acetate induces epigenetic reprogramming in an acetyl-CoA synthetase-dependent manner [207]
Telomerase normally helps offset that loss, as outlined in this reference on telomerase and telomere maintenance
