Epithalon 20mg
INTRODUCING
Epithalon 20mg
Epithalon, also known as Epitalon or Epithalone, is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the naturally occurring pineal peptide Epithalamin. Its amino acid sequence is Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Epithalon has garnered interest for its potential role in modulating various physiological processes, including regulating cell division, extending cell life, and exhibiting antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
Previous and ongoing research on Epithalon has focused on several key areas:
- Aging and age-related diseases: Epithalon has been studied for its potential effects on extending cell life by activating the enzyme telomerase, which is responsible for maintaining telomere length at the ends of chromosomes. By preserving telomere length, Epithalon may help delay cellular aging and promote overall health.
- Antioxidant properties: Epithalon has been shown to possess antioxidant properties, suggesting its potential role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage, which are associated with aging and various diseases.
- Neuroprotection: Some studies have indicated that Epithalon may exhibit neuroprotective effects, potentially through its antioxidant properties and by modulating the production of melatonin, a hormone involved in sleep regulation and other physiological processes.
Current research on Epithalon is focused on further understanding its mechanisms of action, optimizing its therapeutic applications, and investigating its safety and efficacy in various populations and medical conditions. Some recent research papers related to Epithalon include:
