GHK-Cu is the most studied in research and skincare
One possible explanation for this difference is that among various subconductance states of the channel (O1-O4), the Glu, ConA, and BPAM bound GluK2 represents the maximal conductance state (O4), while AMPAR structures represent lower (O1/O2) conductance states (Twomey et al., 2017a
The peptides effects on enteric neurons, glial cells, and gut barrier integrity suggest multiple pathways through which healing the gut could protect the brain
Motivated by these previous reports and the simplicity of the HIP approach, we evaluated the HIP of GSH-AuNCs with DDA (we avoided the use of quaternary ammonium phase transfer agents due to their toxicity)
Clinical studies have used schedules more intensive than those seen in recovery practice: patients with Parkinson's disease received 1,400 mg three times a week for four weeks (Hauser et al., Movement Disorders 2009, PMID 19230029), while studies on skin lightening used 1,200 mg twice a week for six weeks (Alzahrani et al., Cureus 2025, PMID 40013212)
