DSIP
Also known as: Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide
A naturally occurring nonapeptide studied for sleep-regulation and stress-response endpoints.
Overview
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a naturally occurring nine-amino-acid peptide first described for its association with slow-wave (delta) sleep in early research.
How it’s studied to work
DSIP’s precise receptor targets remain incompletely defined; it is studied as a neuromodulator influencing sleep architecture, stress hormones, and circadian signalling.
