Animal-model time courses Small-animal wound-healing studies (predominantly rodent) generally describe structural-tissue observations across one to four weeks following GHK-Cu administration in the experimental protocol
As a peptide, GHK is involved in a number of biological activities, including promoting collagen production, cell growth, and supporting a healthy inflammatory process
Giblin K, Kaplan LM, Somers VK, et al
Furthermore, it was found that the general control of amino acid synthesis 5-like 1 (GCN5L1) negatively regulates both mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation pathways through acting on both PGC1a and TFEB in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (Scott et al., 2014)
Studies testing peptide plus vitamin C formulations show positive results when pH is managed properly
The molecular weight of GHK-Cu sits between 340 and 404 g/mol depending on the salt form, making it a small molecule that distributes efficiently through tissue after injection
