Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied for its potential to modulate cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with aging in non-human research models. It is primarily recognized for its influence on telomere maintenance and elongation through the activation of telomerase—an enzyme that supports cellular longevity.
In research environments, Epithalon has been observed to enhance mitochondrial efficiency, potentially improving cellular energy production. Its antioxidant properties may also help mitigate oxidative stress, promoting cellular stability and resilience. Studies have further explored its neuroprotective potential, including its role in neural tissue repair and synaptic support in animal models.
Additionally, Epithalon’s interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis has drawn interest for its potential to modulate age-related hormonal dynamics. Collectively, these findings position Epithalon as a valuable investigative tool in studies on longevity, cellular regeneration, and age-associated physiological processes within controlled laboratory settings.
