These effects are more common upon the initiation of therapy
However, no one common cause has been identified
More clinical trials are needed to confirm testosterone effects
The Nrf2 pathway is thus considered a key modulator of the oxidant/antioxidant balance and it has been shown that (poly)phenolic compounds could induce a response in targeted cells, leading to the activation of several defence enzymes such as glutathione-S-transferase, haem oxygenase 1, quinone oxidoreductase 1 and glutamyl-cysteine ligase (Reference Satta, Mahmoud and Wilkinson84)
The compound has been found to operate in the postrema and nucleus of the hindbrain solitary tract in order to both induce satiety and regulate appetite by acting on receptors found in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, ventral tegmental area, and the hypothalamus [1]
Nitric Oxide (NO) System Modulation: Research indicates that the peptide acts as a modulator of nitric oxide synthesis (Sikiric et al., 2014)
