I-Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-pal-GHK, iyi-peptide yokwenziwa enefomula yamakhemikhali i-C16H32N6O5.Kuyinguqulo eguquliwe ye-peptide yemvelo ye-GHK, eyenzeka ngokwemvelo esikhumbeni sethu.Le peptide eguquliwe yathuthukiswa ukuthuthukisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen namanye amaprotheni abalulekile ukukhuthaza impilo yonke nokubukeka kwesikhumba.
Incazelo eyinhloko yalo mkhiqizo ukuthi ivuselela ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen.I-Collagen iyiphrotheni ebalulekile enesibopho sokugcina ukwakheka nokuqina kwesikhumba.Nokho, njengoba sikhula, ukukhiqizwa kwe-collagen yemvelo emizimbeni yethu kuyehla, okuholela ekubonakaleni kwemibimbi, ukuwohloka kwesikhumba, nezinye izimpawu zokuguga.I-Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 ibhekana kahle nalokhu ngokubonisa ama-fibroblasts esikhumbeni ukukhiqiza i-collagen eyengeziwe.Lokhu kusiza ukubuyisela ukunwebeka nokuqina kwesikhumba, kunciphisa izimpawu zokuguga ezibonakalayo futhi kuthuthukise ibala lobusha.
