Given that the Long COVID group as a whole showed Gpx deficiency, while only a subset of patients demonstrated oxidative damage, we may infer that Gpx deficiency is the main cause of the consequent lipid and protein damage
This is consistent with the pattern of the cell cycle in cardiomyocyte arrest
This process explains how AOD-9604 mobilizes stored fat, but the actual reduction in body fat requires these fatty acids to be oxidized through physical activity or metabolic processes rather than being re-stored
Samples containing 100 g of heart lysate in 200 L of 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) were treated with either buffer (control), Na 2 S (40 M) or Na 2 S 2 (40 M) for 5 min at RT
