The peptide was originally characterized in the early 1990s as a stable fragment derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice [1]
The current evidence base points to several overlapping molecular pathways operating in parallel: VEGFR2/Akt/eNOS Angiogenic Signalling A primary mechanistic axis involves upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), leading to activation of the Akt/eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) downstream pathway
Repeated seizures can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and excitotoxic damage and eventually lead to neuronal death, including apoptosis, autophagy, necrotizing apoptosis, scorch death, and iron death (10, 11)
