GHK-Cu, also known as copper tripeptide-1 or glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II), is a naturally occurring tripeptide complex formed by the amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to copper ions
Renal carnitine loss may also affect the morphology and function of red blood cells and reduce the oxygen carrying and releasing capacity of red blood cells, thereby reducing tissue oxygen supply (including the kidney), and tissue hypoxia activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which in turn reduces OCTN2 expression through the HIF-1-PPAR signaling pathway
