Honestly, external heat is only one side of the story, internal excessive heat in the body matters too
Joint repair and cartilage protection (preclinical data)
Research has shown that GHK Cu: Downregulates TGF-beta1 (the primary pro-fibrotic cytokine) in fibrotic cell models Upregulates decorin a proteoglycan that inhibits TGF-beta1 signalling and organises collagen fibril structure Reduces expression of MMP inhibitors, allowing physiological matrix remodelling to proceed This dual action promoting organised collagen synthesis in healing wounds while suppressing dysregulated fibrotic collagen makes GHK Cu of interest in research models of skin fibrosis, liver fibrosis, and lung fibrosis
The copper ions in AHK-Cu may be involved in promoting the enzymatic activity of collagen and elastin synthesis, two essential proteins in the ECM that play a crucial role in maintaining skin structural integrity[1]
2.2 Pathogenesis of COPD The pathogenesis of COPD is multifactorial and involves complicated interactions between environmental factors, immune responses, and genetic susceptibility (15)
