The researchers commented that DSIP exerts stimulating influence upon the superoxid-dismutese, catalase, ceruloplasmin activities as well as the level of nonenzymatic antioxidants--urea and uric acids, because during organism aging the antioxidant defense systems are being suppressed
David further analyzed 71 target genes, the prediction of biological processes (BP), including protein phosphorylation (GO:0006468), positive regulation of cell proliferation (GO:0008284), peptidyl-serine phosphorylation (GO:0018105), Positive regulation of gene expression (GO:0010628), negative regulation of apoptotic process (GO:0043066), response to lipopolysaccharide (GO:0032496), positive regulation of MAPK cascade (GO:0043410), positive regulation of MAP kinase activity (GO:0043406) (Figure 11D)
GI symptoms typically clear within one to two weeks of the last dose, roughly corresponding to the compound's elimination half-life
