Tissue-specific action of peptides in tissue culture of rats of various ages
By Khavinson VKh, Malinin VV, Chalisova NI et al.
There was studied the effect of polypeptide preparations isolated from the cerebral cortex (Cortexin), epiphysis (Epithalamin), liver (Hepalin), thymus (Thymalin) and small synthetic peptides--Cortagen, Epitalon, Livagen, Vilon on the development of explants from the cerebral cortex, brain subcortical structures, liver and thymus of rats of various age. With respect to the applied concentrations of the investigated peptides, they exerted tissue-specific effects in the organ-typical culture of animal tissues.
