  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Pharmacokinetics

    In rabbits, intravenous DSIP passed the blood-brain barrier, as shown by its central effects.

    Summary
    The synthetic delta sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) passes the blood-brain barrier, since i.v. injection in free moving rabbits (30 nmoles/kg) significantly increases the cortical delta activity and decreases the motor activity during 5 h.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In free-moving rabbits, intravenous DSIP significantly increased cortical delta activity over 5 hours.
