NR3C1
Some search terms matchedNR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps tissues respond to cortisol and glucocorticoid medicines. Receptor genetics and measured cortisol levels answer different questions.
Also called: Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Me…
NR3C2
Some search terms matchedNR3C2 encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor, which responds to hormones such as aldosterone and helps regulate salt and fluid balance. It is distinct from the NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor.

Homocysteine and methylation
Some search terms matchedFollow Dr. Purser’s teaching on folate, B12, sulfur pathways and antioxidant support around homocysteine.
Also called:
Follow the branches around homocysteine
Homocysteine sits at a junction in the pathway. Dr. Purser’s teaching follows ho…
CCL2
Some search terms matchedCCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive.
Also called:
MCP-1: recruiting monocytes
CCL2 encodes M…
CETP
Some search terms matchedCETP transfers cholesteryl esters between lipoprotein particles. This helps explain why the balance of HDL and other lipid particles is more complex than a single cholesterol number.
Also called:
Moving cholesterol between lipoproteins

HMGB1
Some search terms matchedHMGB1 normally has functions inside the cell nucleus. When released outside cells in particular settings, it can act as a damage-associated molecular pattern, or DAMP, participating in inflammatory signaling.
Also called:
A cellular protei…
IL16
Some search terms matchedIL16 encodes interleukin-16, a cytokine involved in attracting and influencing immune cells, including CD4-expressing cells. Its recruitment role helps separate it from other numbered interleukins.
Also called:
A cytokine involved in immun…
IL-1 beta / IL1B
Some search terms matchedExplore interleukin-1 beta, NLRP3, inflammasome activation, caspase-1, inflammatory conditions, and treatment research.
Understand the connection
IL-1 beta, or IL1B, is an inflammatory cytokine that is activated through processes including…
IL-6 & liver health
Some search terms matchedExplore NASH, liver cirrhosis, oxidative stress, and treatment research.
Understand the connection
IL-6 signaling intersects with metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammatory responses in the liver. Fatty liver disease can progress to …
IL-8 / CXCL8
Some search terms matchedExplore interleukin-8, neutrophils, CXCR1, CXCR2, and immune-cell recruitment.
Understand the connection
IL-8, also called CXCL8, helps attract neutrophils through receptors including CXCR1 and CXCR2. It is a chemokine, a signal that guide…
