However, it remains unclear if dysfunctional reactivity and contractility caused by G6PD def lead to a pathogenic phenotype in humans as G6PD def has been reported to be both cardio-protective and cardio-damaging [14,38]
They are complementary, not competitors
Concurrently, an elevated ER/ER ratio, resulting from promoter methylation-induced ER upregulation and ER downregulation, amplifies estrogen signaling in endometriotic cells
Mammalian erythrocytes on the other hand modulate the innate immune response through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to promote inflammatory and autoimmune response against invading microorganisms [108]
