This review summarizes published laboratory data on GHK-Cu, including its effects on collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast models and gene-expression datasets in which GHK modulated large numbers of genes related to tissue remodeling, inflammation and DNA repair.

Synergy of GHK-Cu and hyaluronic acid on collagen IV upregulation via fibroblast and ex-vivo skin tests

In human dermal fibroblasts and ex-vivo skin tests, researchers measured collagen I, IV and VII expression after combining GHK-Cu with hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights, reporting the largest effect on collagen IV at a 1:9 ratio of GHK-Cu to low-molecular-weight HA.

GHK-Cu may Prevent Oxidative Stress in Skin by Regulating Copper and Modifying Expression of Numerous Antioxidant Genes
