Results from this study4

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone4

In this study, the peptide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking the peptide.

  1. 01LabNot a test of Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) aloneEx vivo tissueOther

    Bioassays on isolated organs indicated that the physiological activity of the ligand gold-protein complexes, which included a DSIP complex, was maintained.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on isolated organs, DSIP attached to gold particles kept its biological activity.

    Summary · context
    Instead of using antibodies to bind to specific sites, substance P, delta-sleep-inducing peptide, oxytocin, and dopamine were covalently attached to BSA and then the BSA-ligand complex was adsorbed on 5-nm colloidal gold particles.

    Summary
    Positive and negative controls performed by addition of BSA-conjugated ligands to the pre-incubation and incubation medium, and displacement of the markers by an excess of unbound ligand in the pre-incubation or the incubation medium, showed the specificity of the tissue labeling.
