Effect of the synthetic pineal peptide epitalon on spontaneous carcinogenesis in female C3H/He mice

Abstract

The potential preventive effect of the synthetic pineal peptide Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) on spontaneous tumorigenesis in mice was studied.. One-year-old female C3H/He mice were kept for 6.5 months under standard conditions.. Epitalon was injected at a dose of 0.1 microg, 5 times a week.

Key Findings

The potential preventive effect of the synthetic pineal peptide Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) on spontaneous tumorigenesis in mice was studied. | Long-term exposure to Epitalon in small doses did not show any toxic effect.
