The failure of the antioxidant system to negate the pathological rise in the oxidative species is exacerbated by reduction in levels of the major cellular nucleophile, GSH due to their covalent modification by dopamine quinone species 20,43,44,45

In wound healing studies, GHK-Cu injected into one area of the body (such as thigh muscles) improved healing at completely different locations (such as the ears)
Thus, residues Tyr110 and Lys105 might share a function in accordance with the glutathione activator model but might also differ, for example, regarding the protonation state of the active site cysteine residue
Yet, when standardized for body weight variations, the BMC to body weight ratio appeared consistent
