However, as with any injection, there is a risk of side effects such as pain at the injection site, infection, or allergic reactions
Although the actual mechanisms of MTX-induced liver and kidney damage are unknown, one of the hypotheses is the breakdown in cellular antioxidant defences, which increases the production of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen species, inhibits cytosolic NADP-dependent dehydrogenase and NADP malic enzyme, lowers glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase levels and reduces the effectiveness of the antioxidant defence system protecting the cell against reactive oxygen species (Reference Savran, Cicek and Doguc7)
Telomerase activation pathway Epitalon's primary mechanism involves activating telomerase through upregulation of the hTERT gene, which codes for the catalytic subunit of telomerase
In clinical practice, it is most often considered for patients dealing with gastritis-type irritation, reflux-type symptoms, inflammatory gut symptoms, medication-related GI irritation, intestinal permeability concerns, or gut lining support
