Research Notes
Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon or Epithalamin tetrapeptide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed from a fragment of epithalamin, a polypeptide complex originally isolated from the pineal gland.
Research interest
Epitalon has been investigated in preclinical animal models for:
- Telomerase activity and telomere length in somatic cells
- Pineal-axis and melatonin signaling
- Circadian rhythm biomarkers in aged animal cohorts
- Antioxidant and lipid peroxidation models
Most published research originates from Russian gerontology groups; replication in Western labs is limited.
