Blocking of IL-12p40 results in inhibition of several types of cytokines, including those involved in controlling inflammation
Notably, post-mortem studies revealed reduced activity of respiratory chain complexes in a group of ASD children, suggesting that abnormalities, especially in the frontal, temporal and cerebellar areas (Tang et al., 2013), may cause mitochondrial impairment and contribute to the appearance of the first symptoms (Siddiqui et al., 2016)
More studies are needed to fully understand cagrilintides potential on its own
Effects were seen at extremely low concentrations (10 -12 to 10 -9 M), but higher concentrations actually inhibited growth demonstrating a precise dose-response relationship
Three of the sequences are very similar to each other (~96% sequence identity) and may represent transcripts derived from different homeologous alleles of the same gene (Figure S4)
