Epitalon: Telomerase Activation Peptide Research

Epitalon (Epithalon), a tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), is researched for telomerase activation and potential longevity effects in aging models.

Epitalon Research Updates

Telomerase activation in human fibroblasts by Vladimir Khavinson at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation showed 2-3 fold increase. Lifespan extension in D. melanogaster models per Natalia Linkova at the same institute.

Pineal gland modulation and melatonin synthesis per Igor Kvetnoy. Retinal degeneration protection in rat models by Galina Khavinson.

Epitalon Mechanisms

Mimics pineal peptide epithalamin; telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) upregulation. Circadian rhythm normalization via melatonin pathways.

Epitalon Directions

Human longevity studies by the Gerontological Society of Russia. Combination with other geroprotectors.
