Individuals with type 2 diabetes typically experience an impaired incretin effect, though GLP-1 secretion itself may be normal, slightly reduced, or context-dependent
Consistent with human observations, H2O2 also promoted FOXO4 nuclear translocation in TM3 cells, along with an increase in senescence markers p53, phospho-p53, and p21, while reducing testosterone synthesis-related enzymes like CYP11A1 and CYP17A1
Functional pathway readouts as practical proxies Assays that quantify the activity of zinc-sensitive organelle pathways, such as secretory pathway processing, glycosylation capacity, UPR activation or lysosomal proteolysis, may provide clinically actionable proxies for luminal zinc availability and transporter performance
