Grade I (mild sprain) Goals Control pain and swelling Restore knee range of motion (ROM) Begin muscle activation, particularly quads and hamstrings Gradually reintroduce load Typical plan Acute / protection phase (days 13 or until pain allows) Rest (avoid aggravating activities) Ice, compression, elevation Gentle passive / active assisted knee flexion/extension (within tolerance) Quadriceps sets (isometric contraction) Straight leg raises if pain allows Early rehab (week 12) Progress ROM (heel slides, wall slides) Light closed-chain loading (mini squats) Gentle hamstring activation Begin balance / proprioception (e.g
GLP-1 medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone that reduces appetite, delays gastric emptying, and lowers blood sugar
The antibodies used for the immunoblot assays were: GCLC (Santa Cruz Biotech, #sc-390811), NQO1 (Sigma Prestige Antibodies, HPA007308), ACTIN (Sigma, A1978), NRF2 (Cell Signaling Technology, #12721), NRF1 (Cell Signaling Technology, #8052), YAP/TAZ (Cell Signaling, #8418) 4-HNE (Abcam, #ab46545) and Lamin A/C (Cell Signaling, #4777)
It includes medically supervised tapering support when clinically appropriate
Unlike many peptides that target a single pathway, GHK-Cu works through multiple mechanismsstimulating collagen production, providing antioxidant protection, regulating thousands of genes, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair
