Research has demonstrated that GHK-Cu treatment increases production of collagen (particularly type I and type III collagen, the predominant structural collagens in skin and connective tissues), glycosaminoglycans (including hyaluronic acid, which provides hydration, volume, and biochemical signaling in skin), decorin (a small proteoglycan involved in collagen fibril organization and growth factor regulation), and other matrix molecules critical for tissue structure and function

SARS-CoV-2-infected patients with COVID-19 disease show alterations in the glucoseinsulin axis leading to hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, increased oxidative/nitrosative stress, and significantly decreased vitamin D, thiols, total-antioxidant-capacity, GSH and selenium (Soto et al., 2022)
