Researchers use it as a model compound for copper-dependent signaling, geneexpression studies, and extracellular matrix research
GHK-Cu is not a niche curiosity
Furthermore, the risks of myocardial infarction (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.840.98 with GLP-1RAs and HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.800.98 with SGLT2is) and cardiovascular death (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.800.96 with GLP-1RAs and HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.750.94 with SGLT2is) were similarly reduced in both GLP-1RA and SGLT2i groups, while the risk of stroke was reduced only with GLP-1RAs (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.770.97 with GLP-1RAs and HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.861.10 with SGLT2is)
Not because the process is complicated, but because small errors in technique degrade the peptide before you ever draw your first dose
