What is Pinealon?
Pinealon is a short synthetic tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, asparagine, and glycine. It is derived from naturally occurring peptides in brain tissue. From a molecular perspective, it is a regulator of the expression of specific genes in the central nervous system.
How does Pinealon work?
In research settings, Pinealon has been shown to influence neuronal metabolism, stabilize mitochondrial function, and reduce the activity of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways. It is also being investigated for its ability to protect DNA from oxidative damage and regulate apoptosis in brain cells.
Effects studied
- Protection against CNS damage in stressful and toxic conditions
- Stabilization of mitochondria and cellular metabolism in neurons
- Impact on memory and learning in behavioral models
- Prevention of neurodegenerative changes in the hypothalamus and hippocampus
- Reducing DNA fragmentation during oxidative stress
