[The effect of vilon on the thymus and spleen in a radiation model of premature aging]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This rat study examined the effect of the synthetic dipeptide vilon (Lys-Glu) on thymus and spleen changes in a low dose ionizing radiation model of premature aging. The authors reported that low dose radiation induced accelerated aging of the thymus and spleen in rats, and that vilon treatment was associated with partial inhibition of this process. The authors suggested vilon is a candidate for further geriatric research.
Abstract
Low dose ionizing radiation induced accelerated aging of the thymus and the spleen in rat. Treatment with a synthetic dipeptide vilon (Lys-Glu) inhibited partly this process. The data suggest that vilon is a candidate for geriatric research and practice.
