Invasive liver macrophages led to chronic liver injury and fibrosis through HSC transdifferentiation and proliferation, while SCO inhibited HSC activation, downregulated macrophage infiltration, suppressed the secretion of NO, PGE2, iNOS and COX-2 in RAW 264.7 cells, and reduced the production of TNF-, IL-1 and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS (17)
Some providers discontinue the pyridoxine additive once the patient has been stable on the maintenance dose for several months without GI issues
Accordingly, it has several metabolic effects consistent with the actions of GLP-1 and glucagon (stimulation of insulin secretion, reduced appetite, increased energy expenditure), although whether these are important physiologically is uncertain (55)
