Epithalon
Epithalon is a synthetic peptide studied for potential anti-aging and longevity effects but is not approved for human use outside research settings.
Açıklama
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a tetrapeptide originally derived from the pineal gland peptide epithalamin. It has gained attention for its possible role in longevity, telomere extension, and immune function, though human evidence remains limited and its use is not approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.
Avantajlar
Kanıt derecesi ile ana etkiler
Most data are from animal studies and preliminary human trials; there are no large-scale or long-term randomized controlled studies in humans.
Telomere elongation and cellular aging
LimitedEpithalon may activate telomerase and lengthen telomeres in human fibroblast cultures, potentially slowing aspects of cellular aging.
Potential lifespan extension in animals
LimitedRepeated administration of Epithalon is associated with increased mean lifespan and decreased incidence of spontaneous tumors in rodent models.
Antioxidant and immune effects
LimitedStudies in elderly patients suggest Epithalon may improve antioxidant status and T-cell immune response, though evidence is preliminary.
