DOCUMENTED RESEARCH AREAS

  • ▸Proposed activation of telomerase to elongate telomeres in somatic cell research
  • ▸Normalises pineal function and restores circadian melatonin rhythms in animal models
  • ▸Demonstrates antioxidant activity, reducing lipid peroxidation in aging tissue
  • ▸Oncostatic effects observed in carcinogen-treated aging animal populations
  • ▸Supports neuroendocrine balance across the pineal-hypothalamic axis
  • ▸Improves markers of immune function in aging research subjects
  • ▸Short, stable tetrapeptide widely used as a longevity research model

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Epitalon (epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modelled on the pineal peptide epithalamin. In-vitro and animal research reports that it can activate telomerase and influence gene transcription, and it is studied as a peptide bioregulator in ageing research.

  • ▸Reported to induce telomerase activity and telomere elongation in cultured human cells
  • ▸Studied as a pineal peptide bioregulator of gene transcription
  • ▸Investigated for antioxidant and circadian effects in animal models
