Local Skin Reactions The most commonly reported effects of topical copper peptides are local and mild: redness, a stinging or itching sensation, dryness, or transient irritation at the application site
Furthermore, the study hypothesizes a potential interaction of AOD9604 with the beta-adrenergic pathway, especially concerning the beta(3)-adrenergic receptors (beta(3)-AR), which are considered to be key lipolytic receptors found in fat cells
