Studies

The review presents the results of experimental studies conducted by the author. CBA, SHR, HER-2/neu and SAM mice revealed inhibition of age-related alterations in estrus function and spontaneous tumour development and showed life span extension unde…

We studied the effect of Epithalon on the function of pancreatic islets and regulation of blood glucose level in female rhesus monkeys of various ages. Epithalon corrected the age-related decrease in glucose tolerance and restored the dynamics of ins…

The purpose of this study is to investigate possible influences of different stressors (saline injections, light deprivation and constant light regimen) and geroprotectors (Epitalon and melatonin) on survivals of female HER-2/neu transgenic mice. We…

Neonatal hypophysectomy in chicken, as well as that in old hen has been established to entail in 1,5 months after surgery cellular and humoral immunity disturbances, pronounced hypercoagulation and fibrinolysis depression. Administration of Epitalon…

It was investigated the influence of pineal peptides on the aging changes both circadian rhythm of thymic serum factor (FTS) titer in male rats Wistar and circannual rhythms of FTS, the amount of stromal cells-precurcors (CFC-F), granulocyte-macropha…

The effects of factors from the pineal gland on the titer of thymic serum factor in the supernatant of 3-h thymus stroma cultures, number of stromal precursor fibroblasts and CD4+ cells in the bone marrow, and CD8+ cells in the spleens of adult and o…

We previously showed that treatment of normal human diploid cells with Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) induced expression of telomerase catalytic subunit, its enzymatic activity, and elongation of telomeres. Here we studied the effect of this peptide on…

Vilon stimulated and Epithalon suppressed the expression of argyrophilic proteins in nucleolar organizer regions of thymocytes and epithelial cells, stimulating or reducing, respectively, the formation, assembly, and transport of ribosomes into the c…

OBJECTIVES: Aging is associated with significant alterations in gene expression in numerous organs and tissues. Anti-aging therapy with peptide bioregulators holds much promise for the correction of age-associated changes, making a screening for thei…

Effects of synthetic short peptides (Vilon, Epithalon, Livagen, Prostamax, and Cortagen) on activity of ribosome genes, parameters of common heterochromatin melting, polymorphism of structural heterochromatin (C segments) of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16,…

A microchip technique was used to study expression of 16,897 clones from a cDNA library in the brain of mice receiving melatonin or tetrapeptide Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly). Expression of 53 transcripts in mouse brain underwent significant changes af…

A modified growth hormone releasing factor (GRF; TH9507), a 44 amino acid peptide analogue of natural human growth hormone releasing factor, is being developed for the treatment of age-associated conditions resulting from diminished growth hormone (G…

A method of analysis of enkephalinase activity in blood plasma based on the application of Leu-enkephalin generally labeled with tritium at all its amino acid residues was developed. The method allows the simultaneous estimation of activity of severa…
