[Morphofunctional and molecular bases of pineal gland aging].
The review highlights the potential of epithalon and epithalamin to influence melatonin secretion in the aging pineal gland, but lacks detailed evidence to support strong conclusions.
Where it sits
this study against the rest of the epitalon (epithalon) corpusSummary and findings
The review examined the morphology, molecular, and functional aspects of pineal gland aging, focusing on the effects of epithalamin and epithalon on melatonin secretion. It noted a decrease in functional activity of the pineal gland with aging but reported no significant atrophy. The findings suggest potential regulatory effects of these peptides on neuroimmunoendocrine and antioxidant systems.
Abstract
The review analyzed morphology, molecular and functional aspects of pineal gland aging and methods of it correction. The pineal gland is central organ, which regulates activity of neuroimmunoendocrine, antioxidant and other organisms systems. Functional activity of pineal gland is discreased at aging, which is the reason of melatonin level changing. The molecular and morphology research demonstrated, that pineal gland hadn't strongly pronounced atrophy at aging. Long-term experience showed, that peptides extract of pineal gland epithalamin and synthetic tetrapeptide on it base epithalon restored melatonin secretion in pineal gland and had strong regulatory activity at neuroimmunoendocrine and antioxidant organism systems.
Background
This paper addresses the aging process of the pineal gland, which is known to play a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythms and various hormonal functions. Previous studies have indicated that aging can lead to structural and functional declines in this gland. Understanding these changes is important for exploring potential interventions, such as Epitalon, although the efficacy and mechanisms remain unclear.
