Tesamorelin is a peptide that researchers suggest holds importance in addressing cardiovascular disease in research models of HIV. Findings from studies propose that Tesamorelin peptide may be associated with a reduction in excess fat cell accumulation in models of HIV and lipodystrophy.   What is Tesamorelin Peptide? Tesamorelin peptide, also known as (TH9507), is a...

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) Mechano growth factor (MGF) is a synthetically produced peptide that researchers suggest may be an alternative splicing variant of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF – 1). First described in skeletal muscles, it appears to function as a local tissue repair factor, responding to changes in physiological conditions or environmental stimuli that...

The science of bioaging is still considered a relatively unexplored territory, with research in biogerontology becoming a focal point in the exploration of anti-cell aging discovery.  To study the effects of a substance that potentially impacts the aging cycle of a cell, Prof. Vladimir Khavinson conducted several methodical research studies on murine models, and developed...

Peptides are short stretches of amino acids and can be either sourced from naturally prevalent proteins or synthesized. The amino acid sequences are chosen in a way that they may retain the biological function of their full-length protein counterparts and mimic their biological functions. They are said to play diverse roles from hormones, catalysts, and...

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is an endogenous neuropeptide that was first isolated from rabbits by Monnier and associates in 1964. It is proposed to play a role in inducing delta EEG sleep and is believed to have a diverse influence on the central nervous system. Researchers suggest that it may regulate circadian rhythm, sleeping patterns,...

GHK-Cu peptide is a naturally prevalent copper complex first identified in plasma, and is considered to be present in fluids such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides, small protein fragments, are believed to have a high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu peptide is thought to play essential roles,...

A peptide is a chemical compound consisting of two or more amino acids connected via peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond. It is formed when two amino acids’ carboxyl group or C-terminus react with the amino group or N-terminus. Thus a condensation molecule of water is released during this reaction. The resulting...

IGF-1, also known as Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 or Somatomedin 1, is naturally present in the blood. It is a polypeptide hormone with structural similarity to Insulin. Primarily synthesized in the liver, the synthesis of IGF-1 is managed by the pituitary secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). Various organs, including the brain, are speculated to synthesize...

BPC-157 is a short peptide derived from a full-length protein called body protection compound (BPC). Researchers suggest that BPC is a naturally occurring peptide that may promote healing when exposed experimentally in animal research models. The peptide is speculated to play a crucial role in the potential repair and healing of the intestines and other...
