Epithalon

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, a pineal gland extract. This peptide is studied for its potential effects on telomerase activation and cellular aging. Researchers investigate its role in telomere length maintenance, circadian rhythm regulation, and longevity pathways in laboratory settings.

Scientific research on Epithalon focuses on its effects on telomerase activity and aging biomarkers. Studies examine its influence on telomere length, cellular senescence, melatonin production, and circadian rhythms. Researchers investigate its mechanisms involving telomerase reverse transcriptase activation, pineal gland function, and potential anti-aging signaling pathways in experimental models.
