At baseline and at weeks 8 and 12, a clinician should assess fasting insulin and HOMA-IR (the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, a calculated index derived from fasting glucose and insulin), HbA1c, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein as an inflammatory marker, and body composition by DEXA scan or bioelectrical impedance
There is no clinical evidence to suggest that glutathione causes weight gain
In an additional set of experiments that focused on the determination of intracellular localization of pigment uptake, cells were exposed to C-phycocyanin (0.2 ) for 1 and 20 h, and MitoTracker Green FM (100 nM) and LysoTracker Green DND-26 (75 nM) (Molecular Probes, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for staining of mitochondria and lysosomes, respectively
Using co-immunoprecipitation (CO-IP), the study confirmed that FOXO4-DRI prevents FOXO4 binding to p53, facilitating phosphorylated p53 nuclear exclusion, which triggers BAX upregulation and cleaved caspase-3 activation driving selective apoptosis of senescent endothelial cells
