Mitochondrial Respiration and Hypoxia Protection The 2003 study by Khvatova, Samartzev, Zagoskin, Prudchenko, and Mikhaleva published in Peptides confirmed that DSIP significantly increased ADP-stimulated mitochondrial respiration in rat brain mitochondria under experimental hypoxia conditions establishing a direct mitochondrial respiratory mechanism for DSIPs stress-protective potency and linking DSIP biology to the emerging field of mitochondria-targeted neuroprotective peptides

Gene Expression Effects A landmark study by Pickart and Margolina found that GHK-Cu influences a remarkably broad set of genes upregulating genes associated with collagen production, angiogenesis, and skin repair while downregulating genes associated with inflammation and tissue degradation (including certain matrix metalloproteinases that, when overexpressed, can break down existing collagen)
