In a multicentre, examiner-blind, clinical and neurophysiological study lasting 4 months, 120 hands from 82 patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were examined at baseline and 10, 60, and 120 days after treatment with 500 mg of acetyl-l-carnitine twice daily for 10 days intramuscularly followed by oral administration at 500 mg twice daily for 4 months
Complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain has a binding site for O 2 (The final acceptor in the respiratory chain) and catalyzes the reduction in O 2 to H 2 O
This study is of particular interest because the researchers also paired gene studies with laboratory studies, confirming that changes in gene expression are associated with improved collagen reorganization and fibroblasts function [ 28 ] Further studies confirmed the ability of GHK-Cu to reverse gene expression in COPD back to health [ 29 ]
