Overview
Overview
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from Epithalamin, a naturally occurring peptide complex isolated from the pineal gland. Research has focused on cellular aging, telomere biology, circadian regulation, oxidative stress, genomic stability, and longevity-related pathways. Epithalon has been extensively investigated for its potential influence on telomerase activity and cellular lifespan in experimental models.
Mechanism of Action
Mechanism of Action
Research suggests Epithalon may influence telomerase expression and telomere maintenance, helping regulate chromosomal stability during cellular replication. Studies have also examined its effects on melatonin production, antioxidant defenses, circadian rhythm regulation, gene expression, and cellular stress responses. Research indicates potential involvement in pathways related to healthy aging and cellular homeostasis.
