GLP-1RA-induced angiogenesis appears to be mediated through the PI3K/Akt, PKA, and Src pathways [68]
The immune cells in these patients are dealing with such an extreme, unrelenting burden of oxidative stress and mitochondrial lipid damage that they have frantically ramped up their own internal glutathione production in a desperate attempt to survive
This caps scalability and adds overhead
In contrast, personalized nutrient therapy supports the underlying biochemical architecture: methyl donors, zinc therapy, protein-based diets, and avoidance of synthetic folic acid help restore a childs natural serotonin synthesis, lower internal tension, and stabilize behavior without sedation
