In fibroblast models, researchers observed that GHK-Cu is associated with increased collagen type I and III synthesis, fibronectin production, and glycosaminoglycan deposition
As therapeutic use faces restrictions, research funding increases
This shared mechanism supports their potential as sustainable interventions for heavy metal toxicity in animal production (121, 122)

Main Research Findings 1) GHK-Cu was found to elicit a protective effect in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury through the inhibition of excessive inflammatory responses 2) Treatment of wounds with topical GHK-Cu was found to decrease the amount of time it took to fill the wound with granulation tissue, decrease neutrophil counts, and improve neovascularization
