BECN1 is a protein that plays a crucial role in promoting autophagy
They have metabolic, structural, homeostatic, and neuropro-tective functions, and possess a remarkable role in maintaining blood brain barrier (BBB) [9]
Cellular extracts were added in a final volume of 1.0 ml, to 150 mM Tris HCl buffer, pH 8.2, containing 25 mM L-glutamate, 25 mM L--aminobutyrate, 10 mM ATP, 10 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 30 mM MgCl 2 , 100 mM KCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.42 mM NADH, 7 IU pyruvate kinase, 12 IU lactate dehydrogenase, and the oxidation of NADH was monitored at 340 nm
This comprehensive mechanism addresses appetite, energy expenditure, gastric function, and glucose homeostasis through distinct but complementary receptor systems, potentially explaining enhanced efficacy observed in combination approaches compared to monotherapies
