glutathione gene - an overview Targeting Glutathione Metabolism: Partner in

Mechanistically, glutathione works on several fronts at once

McKinley-Barnard and colleagues states

Stress increases cortisol, which initially suppresses inflammation but ultimately leads to cortisol resistance and rebound inflammation

2) NLRP3 inflammasome activation, triggered by Tat, gp120, and viral RNAs, which is exacerbated by ROS, ion flux changes, and impaired autophagy, with NF-B acting as a crucial priming signal for pyroptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine release

The copper content of GHK-Cu formulations has been a theoretical safety consideration, given that excessive copper can be toxic - however, the amounts used in cosmetic and research applications are extremely small, the copper is tightly chelated by the peptide (reducing free copper availability), and topical absorption of copper from these products appears minimal and well below levels that would cause systemic copper accumulation or toxicity
