GPX4 catalyzes the reduction of phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOHs) using GSH as a cofactor, thereby generating oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and non-toxic phospholipid alcohols (PLOHs)
Beyond that landmark study, the evidence base includes research showing GHK-Cu enlarges hair follicle size, extends the anagen (active growth) phase, stimulates dermal papilla cells (the cells that control follicle activity), promotes angiogenesis (blood vessel growth) to the scalp, and reduces the DHT-related inflammation that causes follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia
Any realistic timeline must respect the three phases of healing inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling regardless of whether peptides are involved
Interestingly, protein aggregates, and misfolded proteins have been found in AD, Huntington, PD, prion disease, ALS and other neurological injuries [115-117]
Peptide injections should only be administered under medical supervision using properly sourced compounds from reputable providers
