No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, GHK-Cu was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking GHK-Cu.

  1. 01LabNot a test of GHK-Cu aloneIn vitro (cell-free)Other

    In a Franz diffusion cell with a liposome membrane, copper complexes with the tripeptides GHK and GSH permeated through membranes that model the horny lipid layer.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, copper complexes with two small peptides passed through a membrane that models the outer skin layer.

    Summary · context
    The in vitro penetration process was studied in the model system, a Franz diffusion cell with a liposome membrane, where liquid crystalline systems of physicochemical properties similar to the ones of the intercellular cement of stratum corneum were used as a standard model of a skin barrier.

    In this study, GHK-Cu was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking GHK-Cu.

    In a Franz diffusion cell with a liposome membrane, the peptides in the copper complexes influenced the dynamics of copper ion diffusion.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, the peptides in the complexes changed how fast copper ions moved through a skin-barrier model.
