The upper layers of mucus containing secreted mucins (e.g., MUC5AC, MUC5B) block larger debris while the mucins associated with proximity to the epithelium, known as membrane-tethered mucins (e.g., MUC1, MUC4, MUC16), block access to the cilia and its underlying epithelium for debris down to 40 nm in size (Kesimer et al., 2013)
The peptides mechanism appears to preferentially mobilize fat from metabolically active depots while preserving muscle tissue, creating favorable body recomposition rather than non-selective weight loss
