ghk-cu copper redox activity silenced peptide Copper Peptide GHK-Cu Copper Peptide

MIC is a fat burning compound that combines three amino acids, methionine, inositol, and choline

Reduces the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)

Though it follows a similar mechanism as GHK-Cu by signaling copper, its skin-specific benefits remain an area where additional research is developing

For example, certain types of peptide linkers are designed to be cleaved by enzymes abundant in tumor cells to selectively release drugs to these cells

Seiwerth and colleagues (Inflammopharmacology, 1999) documented effects on angiogenic growth factor pathway signalling, and subsequent work has expanded characterisation to include VEGF receptor 2 upregulation, endothelial cell migration in capillary-formation assays, and improved healing in ischemia-reperfusion preparations
