it is a powerful modulator of gene expression

Elevated hepcidin levels suppress the expression of FPN1, TfR1, and DMT1, thereby limiting iron entry into the brain

it increases oxidative stress and inflammation, damages endothelial cells, reduces nitric oxide availability, impairs vasodilation and enhances the conversion of homocysteine into highly reactive homocysteine thiolactone, which promotes the homocysteinylation of cellular proteins resulting in protein misfolding, aggregation, and loss of function, ultimately leading to cellular dyshomeostasis [2]

Hexarelin has dual receptor activity u2014 it activates both GHS-R1a (for GH release) and CD36 (for cardiac signaling)
