Sulforaphane inhibited rotenone-induced neuronal apoptosis by restoring the mTOR pathway Disturbances in the balance of mTOR activity in the brain can impair neuronal functions and have detrimental consequences on neuronal regeneration after damage 40
They are all small molecules which act as reversible competitive inhibitors of the catalytic activity of DPP-4 and, when used at the appropriate therapeutic dose, are associated with at least 70% inhibition of plasma DPP-4 activity (35) (although the actual extent of inhibition in vivo is likely to be higher, due to dilution of the inhibitor in the ex vivo assay)
