It may degrade faster, fail to be absorbed, or produce confounding results
Although it is presently unresolved whether the gut microbiota plays a role in the effects of these peptide hormones, it has been speculated that host-gut microbiota crosstalk, facilitated by the production and signaling of bacterial fermentation end-products of dietary fibers (short-chain fatty acids), influences intestinal chemo-sensing and modulates the release and activity of gut peptides 27,28,29,30
1k, l), confirming that N-myristoylation confers only weak membrane-binding properties 7
Nrf2 not only increases the enzyme levels of both the oxidative and non-oxidative arms, but it also facilitates the utilization of ribose 5-phosphate for the purine nucleotide synthesis (Mitsuishi et al., 2012), which appears to maintain the ribose 5-phosphate concentration at a low level and efficiently divert glucose flux into purine nucleotide synthesis through both arms of the pentose phosphate pathway
