Fact Meets Function

Research Summary

This preclinical study evaluated wound healing in rabbits treated with topical tripeptide-copper complex (GHK-Cu) and zinc oxide applied to open wounds. The researchers assessed healing outcomes and compared the effects of these two topical agents in an animal model. The evidence level is animal model (rabbit wounds).

This animal model study investigated how a topical tripeptide-copper complex (GHK-Cu) affected healing in ischemic open wounds. The research found that the GHK-Cu application demonstrated effects on wound healing processes in the ischemic wound model tested.
