Since egr-1 is critical in proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation during cholestatic liver injury, cytokine and growth factor generation and early extracellular matrix (collagen) formation (Kim et al., 2006
In addition, I-B-Kinase (IKK) complex is the core component of NF-B and is a target of ROS, affecting thus NF-B and S-glutathionylation and inhibited IKK activity (Reynaert et al
ROS play crucial dual functions in plants: at moderate levels, they work as signaling molecules to induce responses to abiotic stress for adaptation, while excessive amounts can cause oxidative bursts
Finally, the peptide was suggested to reduce DNA damage and apoptosis (cell death) in aged oocytes
Elamipretide is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide that selectively accumulates in mitochondria, binds cardiolipin, stabilizes inner-membrane structure, inhibits excessive ROS production, and preserves ATP synthesis
