Alzheimers-type changes may coexist with vascular injury, Lewy body disease, Parkinsonian changes, microvascular disease, traumatic brain injury history, sleep apnea, medication effects, depression, alcohol-related injury, or other contributors
Research comparing MT-II with MT-1 and native -MSH has established that cyclic lactam backbone constraint shifts melanocortin receptor subtype selectivity toward MC3R and MC4R relative to linear peptide analogues and with MT-II showing substantially enhanced potency at MC3R and MC4R relative to its potency ratio at MC1R compared with the linear MT-1
This creates a theoretical concern that copper peptides might accelerate tumor development in individuals with active cancer or dormant tumors

Levels decline with age and drop further in chronic disease, including Parkinson's disease, liver disease, heart disease, and alcohol use disorder
