166 The role of SIRT1 in these mechanisms and its overall effect on MASLD pathology remain to be fully elucidated
Research demonstrates GHK-Cu modulates over 4,000 human genes, stimulates collagen I, III, and elastin synthesis, activates matrix metalloproteinases for extracellular matrix remodelling, promotes wound contraction and angiogenesis, and suppresses pro-inflammatory TNF- signalling
The peptide stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of ECM components while modulating the activity of both metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, creating dynamic matrix remodeling that allows tissue reconstruction without excessive scar formation
It may be used as a diagnostic measure to identify the cause of the fluid accumulation, for example, infection, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis, or as a therapeutic intervention to relieve pressure and discomfort
