com Chondricare IS Use Levels: 1% Applications: Anti-aging formulations Comments: This new biofunctional ingredient is a synthetic pentapeptide that functions as a mimetic of the protein aconitase--a critical functional element of human cells that both stimulates cell metabolism during the Krebs cycle and protects mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from oxidative damage--such as that caused by UVB radiation.
The invention also provides the pentapeptide Ser-Met-Arg-Glu-Arg, corresponding to residues 332 to 328 of human amyloid precursor protein in reverse order, and the tripeptide Arg-Glu-Arg which corresponds residues 328 to 330 of human amyloid precursor protein, the tripeptide and pentapeptide being provided as pharmaceutical compositions.
That means hair that's allowed to go bald or grey with dignity, a face that creases when it smiles, and a healthy lack of interest in anything containing a pentapeptide or antioxidant.
