Introduction Peptide therapies have rapidly entered mainstream musculoskeletal culture, driven by social media promotion, direct-to-consumer wellness and optimization clinics, and the expanding commercialization of biologic optimization (Vasireddi et al
Research demonstrates that copper-binding peptides including GHK-Cu suppress the NF-B pathway through direct molecular interactions, with nuclear translocation of NF-B p65 decreased by approximately 30% upon treatment and molecular modeling showing specific peptide sequences exhibit high binding affinity to NF-B p65 (up to -8.8 kcal/mol)
In addition, Zn can act as an insulin-mimetic, inhibiting forkhead box transcription factors (FOXO) and regulating necessary gluconeogenic enzymes (138)
The secondary antibodies were HRP-conjugated affinipure goat anti-rabbit IgG(H + L) (Proteintech, USA), HRP-conjugated affinipure rabbit anti-goat IgG(H + L) (Proteintech, USA), and HRP-conjugated affinipure goat anti-mouse IgG(H + L) (Proteintech, USA)
