An imbalance of the gut microbiota can lead to immune activation and inflammation, particularly through an increase in pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which results in increased production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-, IL-1, and IL-6 (218)
This reaction not only converts toxic oxidants into harmless substances (such as water) but also creates conditions for the subsequent reduction process by storing electrons in disulfide bonds
This work established the broader significance of NNMT in methylation-dependent cellular processes and provided context for the development of selective inhibitors [3]
