Epithalon, also known as Epitalon or AEDG peptide, is a tetrapeptide that was originally synthesized based on bovine pineal gland extract (Epithalamin) and later discovered naturally in the human pineal gland 1. This compound has become the subject of extensive research across multiple therapeutic areas.
Key Research Areas
1. Aging and Longevity
Epithalon shows significant potential in aging-related research:
- Increases telomerase activity and extends telomere length in somatic cells
- Demonstrates geroprotective effects through antioxidant properties
- Clinical studies show reduced mortality rates in long-term treatment
- Can help reduce biological age, as demonstrated in clinical applications
2. Neurological Applications
Research focuses on several neurological aspects:
- Shows neuroprotective effects for neurodegenerative conditions
- Potential applications in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia
- Regulates neuronal differentiation gene expression
- Influences melatonin synthesis and pineal gland function
3. Cancer Research
Studies investigate epithalon's anti-cancer properties:
- Demonstrates ability to inhibit cancer cell growth
- Induces apoptosis in cancer cells
- Shows potential in experimental cancer prevention
4. Cardiovascular Health
Clinical research shows promising cardiovascular applications:
- Reduces mortality in older adults with cardiovascular disease
- Long-term observational studies demonstrate improved survival rates
5. Cellular and Reproductive Health
Research extends to cellular and reproductive functions:
- Enhances oocyte quality and health
- Protects against post-ovulatory aging
- Improves cellular function and hormonal stability
6. Immune System Function
Studies demonstrate immunomodulatory effects:
- Improves immune function in elderly subjects
- Enhances T-cell counts
- Shows potential in treating autoimmune conditions
7. Antioxidant Properties
Research explores protective mechanisms:
- Scavenges free radicals
- Reduces oxidative damage to cells and tissues
- Demonstrates DNA protective properties
