Effect of delta-sleep inducing peptide on the functional activity of some organs and tissues of rats during physiological aging
By Bondarenko TI, Maĭboroda EA, Mikhaleva II et al.
The authors show that exogenous delta-sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) injected subcutaneously to the rats in the age of 2-24 months of postnatal development in a dose of 100 mg/kg of animal body weight in courses for 5 consecutive days every month, has a hepatoprotective effect. DSIP does not affect the functional activity of the pancreas, and is not involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis in the physiological aging of the organism.
