Structurally defined as Ac-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-NH, it demonstrates prolonged half-life (~30 minutes longer than standard Semax) and increased neuroprotective efficacy, modulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and upregulating BDNF expression
Telomere maintenance is the headline, but there's more to the story: Telomerase Activation The primary mechanism of Epithalon is the activation of telomerase, specifically through upregulation of the hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase) gene
In this study, the researchers used GPX4 inhibitors to block its activity and to identify new defence mechanisms
