Currently, excessive NNMT upregulation is implicated in several scenarios, including obesity, metabolic diseases, muscle cell degeneration, and even some types of cancer [2, 4]
FIGURE 9 4 Discussion GHK and its bioactive form, GHK-Cu, have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in various cellular, tissue, and animal models ( In IBD, the expression levels of tight junction proteins such as ZO-1 and Occludin, is generally suppressed, leading to increased intestinal permeability, enhanced pathogen infiltration, and exacerbated inflammatory responses ( in vivo and in vitro experimental models revealed that GHK-Cu upregulates the expression level of Occludin and ZO-1, suggesting its potential role in promoting intestinal barrier repair

Dysfunction of intestinal epithelial cell polarity and function can trigger potent inflammatory responses within the gut, and related to this, mice deficient in Ap1m2, a master regulator of intestinal epithelial cell polarization, demonstrate chronic colitis
