Results from this study2

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

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In rat brain, immunoreactive DSIP was more concentrated in limbic structures, although contents were generally low.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own DSIP-like material was found mostly in the brain's limbic areas, at low levels.

    Summary · context
    The regional distribution of immunoreactive delta sleep-inducing peptide (IR-DSIP) and the effect of 24-h sleep deprivation on the IR-DSIP content was investigated in the rat brain by means of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of the assayable IR-DSIP in the rat brain coeluted with authentic DSIP in the gel filtration.

    This result measures the body's own Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

    In rats, 24-hour sleep deprivation and rebound sleep did not significantly change brain contents of free-form DSIP.

    In plain wordsIn rats, going without sleep for 24 hours did not significantly change the body's own free DSIP in the brain.

    Summary
    Sleep deprivation and subsequent rebound sleep had no significant effect on the brain contents of 'free-form' DSIP.
