Effect of epithalon on age-specific changes in the retina in rats with hereditary pigmentary dystrophy
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This rat study, using Campbell rats with hereditary pigmentary retinal degeneration, examined the peptide Epithalon given from birth. The authors reported that Epithalon administration was associated with preservation of retinal morphological structure, increased bioelectrical activity, and improved retinal function compared to untreated animals. No numeric outcome data were given in the abstract.
Abstract
The effect of peptide bioregulator Epithalon on the course of hereditary pigmentary retinal degeneration was studied in Campbell rats. Administration of epithalon starting from birth protected morphological structure, increased its bioelectrical activity, and improved its function.
