Epithalon
Lab-made short peptide
Epithalon is a lab-made peptide of four amino acids. Its design is based on a natural substance from the pineal gland, a tiny gland deep in the brain.
Also known as Epitalon · Epithalone · AEDG peptide · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
How it is studied
In cell and animal studies it is described as affecting an enzyme that maintains the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes, the strands that carry our genes.
Research context
Studied in lab models of aging biology and of those protective chromosome caps.
Good to know
The evidence so far comes mostly from early lab studies.
Research area
Longevity, mitochondrial & cellular research. Every cell has its own tiny built-in power plants that make the energy it needs to run. Scientists study the compounds in this group in the lab to learn about cell energy and the biology of aging. They are research tools only, with no established use in people.
