What they found: 4,192 human genes change expression by 2 in response to GHK-Cu (31.2 % of the human genome) Of these 2,296 genes up-regulated , 1,896 down-regulated Pattern of changes: a rejuvenating signature, genes typically associated with ageing are down-regulated, regenerative genes up-regulated DNA repair , strong up-regulation of genes in BER, HR, NER pathways Mitochondrial biogenesis , increase in the number of mitochondria in cells Anti-apoptotic signal , protection against cell death Down-regulation of cancer signals , some oncogenes decreased Why it matters: This is the strongest evidence for the pleiotropic nature of GHK-Cu
The dual agonist approach represented by tirzepatide demonstrates that activating multiple complementary pathways produces superior results to targeting a single pathway, even when that single pathway works quite well on its own
Tirzepatide, a dual-agonist peptide, has shown significant results with a 22.5% weight loss over 72 weeks at a 15 mg dose (Jastreboff et al., NEJM), making it one of the most effective therapies for obesity
