This may be attributed to the dimeric structure which hinders enzyme access to active sites, showcasing significant resistance to enzymatic degradation 49,55
The active compound reaches target tissues intact
It is less preferred but used when there is less chance of absorption through skin
These systems can be useful for studying mechanisms such as cell migration, endothelial signaling, nitric oxide involvement, and tissue-level repair responses, but they do not establish human safety, human efficacy, optimal dosing, or suitability for any medical condition
Common applications include: Obesity and Body-Weight Regulation Models : Studying how chronic exposure to AOD 9604 affects body weight, fat, and energy use in obese rodents, often using calorimetry (measuring energy expenditure) and body fat measurements
