HUBERMAN: Well, the first relates to something that many people take BPC-157 for because they believe it's good for them, and in some cases, potentially could be, which is that in addition to increasing fibroblast migration and angiogenesis, blood vessel development within a site of injury, BPC-157 is known to have a small but nonetheless meaningful impact on upregulating growth hormone receptors
The brain substantia nigra in PD has a high level of expression of the VD metabolizing enzyme and 1 hydroxylase, and VD can stimulate the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, a key enzyme of dopamine synthesis in PD, which affects the production and turnover of dopamine, therefore, the role of VD in the development process of PD has received increasing attention (85, 86)
Antioxidant metabolism The presence of the antioxidant system can prevent the infinite expansion of lipid peroxidation, which is a core step in impeding ferroptosis
In conclusion, this study unraveled what we believe to be a novel pathway for dopaminergic neuron degeneration during PD pathogenesis, driven by dopamine-induced loss of antioxidant GPX4 activity
