Reduced manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity, reduced glutathione to glutathione disulphide (GSH/GSSG) ratios, and an impaired oxidative phosphorylation system were accompanied by an increase in caspase 9 activity in hippocampal homogenates
In addition to the role of iron metabolism in ferroptosis, an increasing number of other metabolic pathways have been implicated in ferroptosis, including the cyst(e)ine/glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis, the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1)/tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4 )/dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) axis, and the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1)/ coenzyme Q (CoQ) axis [8]
Patients sometimes report: Reduced cravings between meals Smaller portion sizes Improved awareness of fullness For individuals starting Mounjaro for weight loss, these early appetite changes often help establish healthier eating patterns
These effects result directly from the medication's mechanism of actionspecifically, delayed gastric emptying and effects on gastrointestinal motility
