In one mouse study, researchers found that the peptide reduced the pain felt by the animals in their paws when placed on a mildly hot plate. The authors explained that this could be because GHK is similar in structure to cimetidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist sometimes given to reduce pain in certain digestive conditions.3 10 In rodents, doses as low as 0.5mg/kg were found to be effective in delivering these anti-pain effects.25 In a 70kg human, an equivalent dose would be around 5.6mg, though thats likely higher than necessary: pharmaceutical-grade GHK-Cu normally ranges from 0.5 mg to 2.5mg per injection
Further work is required to discern the relative roles of these proteins in adipocyte lipolysis
Researchers interested in studying the benefits of epithalon may see it sold under a variety of other names including epitalon, epithalone, and AEDG peptide, the latter a reference to its amino acid sequence
Researchers frequently discuss these peptides together because they have been investigated in complementary areas of regenerative biology
