Results from this study1

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) 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 Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP).

    In rats, intraperitoneal aluminium chloride increased blood-brain barrier permeability to iodinated DSIP by 60-70%.

    In plain wordsIn rats, aluminium injected into the abdomen made the blood-brain barrier more open to labelled DSIP.

    Summary · context
    The present study shows that aluminium itself affects the permeability of the BBB of rats to small peptides.

    In this study, Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP).
