Epithalon
Also known as: Epitalon · AEDG · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
A short tetrapeptide studied for telomere and pineal-regulation endpoints in longevity research.
Overview
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on a peptide extract of the pineal gland (epithalamin), studied in Russian gerontology research for effects related to ageing and circadian regulation.
How it’s studied to work
Research examines Epithalon for reported effects on telomerase activity and telomere length in cell models, and for modulation of the pineal hormone melatonin.
