Considering the pivotal function of ferroptosis in OA, targets such as transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) [27,28], glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) [29], nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) [30], acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) [31], and nuclear coactivator adaptor 4 (NCOA4) [32] have surfaced as prospective regulators of ferroptosis and modulators of OA advancement
CGA also restored the phosphorylation of Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, and GSK3
Applying degraded GHK-Cu delivers free copper ions and amino acid breakdown products instead of the active peptide complex at best, this produces zero collagen synthesis or wound healing benefit, and at worst, free copper can act as a pro-oxidant generating reactive oxygen species that cause irritation, redness, or hyperpigmentation
