This is the theoretical basis for endogenously supplied gamma-glutamylcysteines ability to raise GSH levels, as being the product of the GCL enzyme, it can be taken up by cells intact, where it feeds directly into glutathione synthase to be converted to glutathione, effectively bypassing the dysfunctional GCL
What they found (summary): Amylin is a critical partner of insulin in metabolism, the loss of amylin in T2DM is as significant as the loss of insulin The AMY1 receptor in the area postrema is the primary target for the appetite effect Amyloid aggregation is the main problem with native amylin, proline substitutions (the Pramlintide strategy) are essential The half-life of native amylin is only 13 minutes, that is why lipidated analogs like Cagrilintide are necessary Perspective: amylin + GLP-1 combinations are the natural evolution of metabolic pharmacotherapy Why it matters: This is the reference article for amylin pharmacology
