Evaluation of the effects of topical tripeptide-copper complex and zinc oxide on open-wound healing in rabbits

In this study the clinical and histopathological effects of topically applied tripeptide-copper complex (TCC) and zinc oxide on open-wound healing in rabbits was evaluated. Eighteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups: TCC, zinc oxide and no treatment. One full thickness wound was created on each side of the dorsal midline in each rabbit.

What the research on GHK-Cu actually shows
The indexed literature on GHK-Cu includes human clinical or observational records (3 human-clinical or observational records, 1 in-vitro record). This digest describes the shape of that evidence and links the records behind it. It does not judge whether GHK-Cu is safe or effective for any purpose, and nothing here is medical advice — the material sold by the vendors in this index is labeled for laboratory research use only.
