p53 suppresses metabolic stress-induced ferroptosis in cancer cells
It also depicts how the active hormones stimulate insulin production in the pancreas, an effect lost once DPP-4 cleaves them
It is believed to work by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in producing the darker form of melanin (eumelanin), and shifting the production towards the lighter form (pheomelanin)
Therefore, autophagy supports cancer progression and chemoresistance by allowing tumor cells to overcome both environmental and intracellular stress signals, including nutrient deprivation and chemotherapeutic cytotoxicities 167,171,172 (Fig
