Humanin 5mg
INTRODUCING
Humanin 5mg
Humanin is a small, bioactive peptide consisting of 24 amino acids. It was initially discovered in 2001 during a study on Alzheimer’s disease. Humanin is known for its neuroprotective, anti-apoptotic, and cytoprotective properties, and it has been investigated for its potential role in a variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related conditions.
Previous and ongoing research on Humanin has focused on several key areas:
- Neuroprotection: Humanin has been studied for its potential to protect neurons from cell death and damage, particularly in the context of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
- Cardiovascular protection: Humanin has demonstrated cardioprotective properties in some studies, suggesting its potential to protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular diseases.
- Metabolic regulation: Research has also focused on Humanin’s potential role in regulating metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and glucose homeostasis, which could have implications for diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
- Anti-aging and longevity: Humanin’s cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic effects have generated interest in its potential role in promoting healthy aging and longevity.
Current research on Humanin 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 Humanin include:
