In further research, it was found that berberine achieved antioxidant effects by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, apoptotic factors and nuclear transcription factor B (NF-b), as well as up-regulating the expression of peroxlsome proliferator-activated receptor- coactlvator-1 (PGC-1) and manganese superoxide dismutase

Retinoids and copper peptides The retinol and copper peptide combination requires careful management
However, this pathway is reported to be inactive in most tissues, and in the few tissues in which it is active, its function is reduced in tumours from the corresponding tissue 16

Because these compounds are naturally occurring peptides with restricted patentability, opportunities for intellectual property protection and industry-sponsored development are limitedposing substantial barriers to the resource-intensive clinical investigations required to confirm therapeutic efficacy and long-term safety
