[Tissue-specific action of peptides in tissue culture of rats of various ages]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This study examined effects of polypeptide preparations from cerebral cortex (Cortexin), epiphysis (Epithalamin), liver (Hepalin), thymus (Thymalin), and small synthetic peptides (Cortagen, Epitalon, Livagen, Vilon) on organotypic tissue culture explants from cerebral cortex, brain subcortical structures, liver, and thymus of rats of various ages. The authors reported that, depending on concentration, these peptides exerted tissue-specific effects on the development of the cultured explants.
Abstract
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.
