Main conclusions: GHK-Cu acts via 6 main mechanisms (described above) The endogenous decrease with age is documented in various populations Topical applications in dermatology are the best validated Antimicrobial effect , GHK-Cu also has a mild antibacterial profile The safety profile is excellent, no toxic doses were reached in animal studies Why it matters: This review became a reference source for the dermatological and cosmetic research community
The rate limiting factor is skin irritation & the patients knowledge about how to modulate usage
Liposomal delivery is designed to protect nutrients and enhance absorption at the cellular level
The IGF-1 Receptor and PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway When IGF-1 LR3 binds to the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) on a target cell, it activates a signaling cascade beginning with PI3K, which in turn activates Akt, ultimately converging on mTOR a master regulator of cell growth and protein synthesis
Furthermore, administration of GHK-Cu reversed the increase in NF-B expression induced by CS and increased the Nrf2 level, as an antioxidant defense component, in mice with chronic CS exposure
