Tetrapeptide Epithalon Activates Telomerase and Improves Immune Function in Aging Mice
Krutko VI, Khavinson VKh, Linkova NS, et al.
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2003
Key finding
Epithalon increased spleen and thymus telomerase activity 4.2-fold and 3.8-fold respectively; enhanced mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation by 67%.
Summary
Study in aged mice demonstrating epithalon restores telomerase activity in immune organs and improves T-cell mediated immunity.
