Nanoparticles were enclosed in dialysis bags (MWCO 1214 kDa, Spectrum Labs, Rancho Dominguez, CA, United States) and immersed in PBS (Phosphate-Buffered Saline, pH 7.4) containing either 0.5 mM or 5 mM ROS
Mitochondria contain 1015% of the intracellular GSH reaching a concentration of 1012 mM (54) while in the cytosol the concentration is 7 mM (54, 56)
Over time, this results in reduced production of thyroid hormonesprimarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)which are essential for regulating metabolism, energy production, and numerous bodily functions
Consistent with our previous findings (20), oral gavage of systemically active doses of sitagliptin (10 mg/kg) inhibited plasma DPP-4 activity by approximately 85% when assessed 30 minutes after oral administration (Figure 1B)
