Besse-Patin et al report that PGC1A promotes ER expression while also acting as an ER coactivator to mediate an antioxidant response involving increased expression of antioxidant genes such as superoxide dismutase 2 and glutathione peroxidase-1 (84)
Clinical characteristics regarding individual OBS components are shown in Table 3
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum): Supports liver cell protection and regeneration during medication stress N-acetylcysteine (NAC): Replenishes glutathione and reduces oxidative burden Vitamin C & zinc: Essential for collagen synthesis, immune recovery, and wound healing Vitamin D + K2: Support bone density, calcium balance, and immune regulation Adaptogens (e.g., ashwagandha, rhodiola): Help buffer adrenal stress and support circadian rhythm balance Nutritional & Lifestyle Foundations Emphasize adequate protein intake (collagen, eggs, wild-caught fish) to counter muscle and connective tissue loss Include antioxidant-rich foods such as citrus, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and green tea Support vitamin D status through sunlight exposure and appropriate D3 + K2 supplementation Incorporate weight-bearing exercise and supportive modalities (e.g., red-light therapy) to preserve bone and muscle Functional Medicine Monitoring and Recovery Considerations Assess and monitor: vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, fasting glucose, and bone density Support detoxification: use strategies such as sulforaphane and NAC to assist liver and mitochondrial function Taper thoughtfully: when appropriate, work with a qualified clinician to gradually reduce steroid use while restoring adrenal balance and nutrient status While corticosteroids exert their effects by overriding stress and immune signaling, other commonly used pain medicationssuch as acetaminophen (Tylenol)disrupt healing through different metabolic pathways
Once GSH was stopped, the therapeutic effect lasted 2 to 4 months
Muscle Preservation: Unlike traditional weight loss methods that can lead to muscle loss, AOD 9604 peptide therapy targets fat cells while preserving lean muscle mass, resulting in a more sculpted, toned physique
