Findings and extraction notes
- The abstract reports reduced inflammatory and fibrotic measures and changes in Nrf2, NF-kB, and TGF-beta/Smad signaling after GHK-Cu.
Limitations
- Bleomycin injury is an animal disease model and does not establish human pulmonary outcomes.
- The abstract does not report the number of mice.
