Peptides and Ageing

Abstract

A technology has been developed for manufacturing of biologically active complex peptide preparations from extracts of different tissues.. In particular, the pineal preparation (Epithalamin) augments the in vitro outgrowth of explants from the pineal gland but not from other tissues, the latter being stimulated by peptide preparations from respective tissues.. Epithalamin increases melatonin.

Key Findings

Epithalamin increases melatonin production by the pineal gland of rats, improves immunological parameters in rats and mice, produces anticarcinogenic effects in different experimental models, stimulat... | These effects are combined in the ability of Epithalamin to increase the lifespan in rats, mice, and fruit flies

Study Design
