Where It Acts The primary target cells are dermal fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and the extracellular matrix proteins that give skin its mechanical structure) and basal keratinocytes (the proliferating cell population at the bottom of the epidermis)
While their mechanisms of action are similar, topical acetyl hexapeptide-8 does demonstrate a lower efficacy than injected Botox, but as researchers note this is to be expected.22 Similar results were found in a small 2013 study, with the total anti-wrinkle efficacy of the Argireline treatment group being 48.9% compared to 0% in the placebo group.23 However, a more recent 2023 study investigating the effects of serum containing Argireline and hyaluronic acid found the results to be not statistically significant.24 This means that more research is needed before claims that Argireline is a true alternative to Botox can be confirmed or denied
However, full-thickness tears where the tendon has completely detached from bone typically require surgical reattachment
Conversely, either germline knockout or antisense oligonucleotide knockdown of FGFR4 expression in mice enhances hepatic fat oxidation, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitivity (308310) while reducing hepatic steatosis (308, 309)
