Reflecting a compound whose biological effects span multiple molecular targets and pathways rather than operating through a single defined receptor, Established and proposed mechanisms include upregulation of growth hormone receptor expression in tendon and other connective tissue, promotion of angiogenesis through nitric oxide-dependent and VEGF-mediated pathways, modulation of the dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter systems in the central nervous system, interaction with the NO-synthase and prostaglandin systems to produce cytoprotective effects in gastrointestinal epithelium, activation of the FAK-paxillin pathway to promote cell survival and migration, and anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of inflammatory cytokine production

Human studies support these findings: A randomized controlled trial demonstrated that a six-month zinc supplementation regimen in older adults increased plasma zinc levels and decreased markers of inflammation, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL-6, MCP-1, and VCAM-1
422 Some studies also showed that HER2 heterogeneity correlated with worse clinical outcomes, 423 and HER2 intra-tumoral heterogeneity could be another potential factor for the resistance to anti-HER2 therapy
