DSIP acts on several systems: it modulates GABAergic and serotonergic pathways, promotes the natural programming of slow-wave (delta) sleep, and stabilizes circadian rhythms
At the molecular level, excessive androgen receptor activation has been shown to stimulate phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways, promoting cardiomyocyte hypertrophy while simultaneously enhancing mitochondrial oxidative injury (73)
