It selectively targets and disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, leading to microbial inactivation
Additionally, LC regulates pyruvate dehydrogenase activity through its reaction with acetyl-CoA, as well as proteolysis and protein synthesis necessary for maintaining the protein balance in skeletal muscle
It is important to note that the variability in clinical outcomes may be attributed to several factors, including study design, sample size, and differences in the disease stages of patient populations
Peptides offer alternatives to prolonged rest, NSAIDs, or premature corticosteroid injections that can weaken tissues
