They do not interfere with one another
A disruption in the homeostasis of iron metabolism, manifesting as an imbalance among its import, storage, and export, can lead to intracellular iron overload
In the context of metabolic health, certain peptides target functions related to energy, muscle, and fat metabolism
They are released throughout the day, increasing at mealtimes, and have several functions: Stimulate the production and secretion of insulin in response to eating (glucose-dependent insulin secretion) GLP-1 enhances the sensitivity of alpha cells to glucose, resulting in more glucose-appropriate glucagon secretion Slow digestion and decrease appetite Thus, DPP-4 inhibitors indirectly enhance insulin release, suppress glucagon secretion, and improve glycaemic control
These modifications can lead to mutations, genomic instability, and if not adequately repaired, contribute to carcinogenesis and other genetic disorders [39]
