We studied the effect of melatonin and epithalon on age-related changes in proteolytic digestive enzyme activity in the pancreas and gastric mucosa of rats kept under different lighting conditions. In rats kept under standard illumination, pepsin act…
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an endogenous danger signal molecule. In the postischemic brain, HMGB1 is massively released during acute damaging process and triggers inflammatory processes. Moreover, it has been reported HMGB1 augments the pro…
A simple, sensitive and stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay method was developed and validated for a bioactive peptide, lysine-proline-valine (KPV) in aqueous solutions and skin homogenates. Chromatographic separ…
The anti-plasmodial activity of conformationally restricted analogs of angiotensin II against Plasmodium gallinaceum has been described. To observe activity against another Plasmodium species, invasion of red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum was…
We've estimated the cellular and metabolic part of geroprophylactic effects of short synthetic tripeptides vesugen and pinealon for correction of the biological age. 32 people (18 men, 12 women) aged 41-83 years with polymorbidity and the organic bra…
The research of Cortexin and Pinealon within two models of stress, acute hypobaric hypoxia and mild hypothermia, within 18-month aged rats has been held. The peculiarities of peptide preparations' influence on behavior and neurochemical indeces have…
The influence of long-term culturing (12 days in vitro) of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and dorsal horn (DH) neurons with peptide Semax on the level of synaptic activity at co-cultures, as well as short-term plasticity in sensory synapses were studied.…
The effect of ACTH4-7-PGP (Semax) intraperitoneal injection at the doses of 5, 50, 150 and 450 μg/kg b. w. on lipid peroxidation and functional hepatocytes state in Wistar male rats subjected to acute and chronic electrical foot-shock stress was inve…
A new mixture of tripeptides (NMT: H-Lys-Asp-Glu-OH, H-Asp-Glu-Pro-OH, H-Asp-Glu-Arg-OH) in doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg per day produces clearly pronounced neuroprotective effect in rats with brain ischemia and decreases neurologic deficiency 1.1 time…
It was studied the possibility of correcting lipid metabolism in patients with psoriasis and concomitant metabolic syndrome (MS) by using additional treatment with semax. In group 1, 58 patients received conventional therapy, while 60 patients in gro…
Heptapeptide Semax, encompassing the sequence 4-7 of N-terminal domain of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro tripeptide, belongs to a short regulatory peptides family. This compound has been found to affect learning p…
The effect of ACTH-(4-7)-PGP (semax) intraperitoneal injection at doses of 5, 50, 150 and 450 μg/kg b.w. on the free-radical oxidation and the activity of serum transaminases in Wistar male rats subjected to acute and chronic immobilization stress ha…
BACKGROUND: Tesamorelin, a synthetic analog of human growth hormone-releasing factor, decreases visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with lipodystrophy. OBJECTIVES: 1) To evaluate the utility of patien…
The objective of this analysis was to characterize the time course of selected pharmacodynamic (PD) markers of tesamorelin: growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) concentrations in HIV-infected patients and healthy volunteers. A t…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF), which increases basal and pulsatile growth hormone (GH) secretion and subsequently increases insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1. Limited informat…
AIM: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of monotherapy with phenazepam to complex treatment with the peptide preparation selank and phenazepam in patients with anxiety disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Authors explored the anxiolytic effect and…
How a woman responds to sexual cues is highly dependent on a number of distinct, yet related, factors. Researchers have attempted to explain the female sexual response for decades, but no single model reigns supreme. Proper female sexual function rel…
INTRODUCTION: There is growing recognition of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) as an important women's health concern. Despite an increased awareness of the pathophysiologic components to FSD, currently, there are no drugs approved for the most common…
