Effect of peptide Vilon on the content of transforming growth factor-beta and permeability of microvessels during experimental chronic renal failure
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
In this rat study, the authors examined the peptide Vilon at 2, 4, and 6 months after the onset of chronic renal failure. They report that subcutaneous Vilon significantly decreased serum transforming growth factor-beta(1) and the permeability of mesenteric microvessels in rats 2 months after onset. The authors interpret this as a homeostatic effect of the preparation in the early period of chronic renal failure.
Abstract
We studied the effect of Vilon in rats 2, 4, and 6 months after the onset of chronic renal failure. Subcutaneous injection of Vilon significantly decreased serum concentration of transforming growth factor-beta(1) and permeability of mesenteric microvessels in rats 2 months after the onset of chronic renal failure. Our results indicate that the preparation produces a potent homeostatic effect in the early period of chronic renal failure.
