In the SN of PD patients, HMGB1 showed an overall trend of increased expression, which may increase the sensitivity of PD patient dopaminergic neurons to ferroptosis
How This Blind Spot Leads Directly Into the Next Crisis If we cannot explain how GLP-1 agonists exert their multi-system effects, then we cannot reliably determine who benefits from them, why certain responses emerge, or which biological signatures distinguish durable responders from partial responders, early plateauers, non-responders, or individuals at risk for muscle loss, inflammatory rebound, or neuroprotective divergence
But later, they can play a vital anti-inflammatory role to cause a resolution of the pain state. Completely shutting down glial cell activation could lead to bad consequences
