In the context of the circulatory system, certain peptides may have beneficial effects on heart and blood vessel health
Alzheimers patients typically exhibit significantly decreased cerebral blood flow [50]
Up to 80% of cirrhosis patients report poor sleep quality, as evidenced by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores exceeding 5 (ChildTurcottePugh [CTP] A: 16.9%, CTP B: 26.5%, and CTP C: 56.6%), and around 16 to 52% suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), reflected by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores over 10 (CTP A: 17.6%, CTP B: 29.7%, CTP C: 52.8%) (31)
In vitro and in vivo studies in animals have shown that the use of deuterated PUFAs can lower the peroxidation effects on producing atherosclerosis, control hyperlipidaemia, and reduce cholesterol levels in blood ( Although these are beneficial signals for human health, many questions are raised for the whole of the organisms health since the deuterated lipids will accumulate in a vast number of cells and in their membranes, as in the case of myelin, and will cause a significant alteration in the metabolism of the deuterated host organism (Torres et al., 2021)
