It is known that endogenous levels of GHK peptide naturally decline with age, from roughly 200 ng/ml at age 20 to 80 ng/ml at age 60 [3], and studies have shown that GHK-Cu can reset gene expression of human cells to a healthier state, which has led to breakthroughs in tissue regeneration and wound healing [4, 5, 6]
When estrogen levels fall, these functions weaken simultaneously
Other pharmacological options include catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors like entacapone and opicapone, which extend the half-life of levodopa, do not cross the BBB at all and primarily affect peripheral metabolism, providing no direct action in the brain 59
This process changes Glutathione from its active form (GSH) to a used form (GSSG)
Improves muscle growth and repair
Under homeostatic physiological conditions, activated microglia and astrocytes can produce ROS and nitric oxide (NO) molecules that play roles in defense mechanisms against microbial pathogens
