👉 Digitoxigenin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of oxygen and is released by the heart as a response to increased blood pressure. It contains a glycosidic link between the oxygen molecules and the fatty acids, which are stored in the liver and used for energy production. The exact mechanism of action remains unclear, but it is known to increase the production of carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the bloodstream. This process is essential for maintaining homeostasis and regulating blood pressure
