Let’s explore “Kidney health and inflammatory signals”

…lin. After insulin binds, the receptor activates a chain of signals that influences glucose uptake and metabolism. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser follows the receptor through IRS proteins, PI3K/AKT, and glucose transport. He discusses magne…

…low the pathway Dr. Purser discusses IL-6, TNF-alpha, other inflammatory signals, tissue remodeling, and the interaction between inflammation and hormone-related processes. Cytokines are one part of the picture, rather than a substitute for…

…the pathway Dr. Purser connects endothelial changes, immune signals, TGF-beta-related fibrosis, and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Tissue scarring and inflammatory activity are related but do not mean every symptom has the same cause. Bring these q…
