Antioxidant defense: GHK-Cu upregulates genes encoding antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase, strengthening the cells defenses against oxidative damage from UV radiation, environmental pollution, and endogenous metabolic byproducts
(2014) in Current Chemical Biology highlighted GHK-Cus ability to silence copper(II) redox activity, preventing ROS formation and oxidative damage
The Key Benefits of Glutathione Glutathione is one of the most extensively studied antioxidants, with thousands of scientific publications exploring its role in human health
