Findings and extraction notes
- PubMed indexes this publication under PMID 11045606; Atlas verified title, journal, year, and DOI metadata where available before publishing the page.
- The record is linked to GHK-Cu for literature mapping, but Atlas has not promoted the indexed metadata into a mechanistic or clinical outcome claim.
Limitations
- Phase 3 metadata verification confirms citation identity; it does not replace full independent extraction of methods, endpoints, or effect sizes.
- Interpretation should remain limited to the publication type, species context, and verified PubMed metadata shown on this page.
