  1. 01LabEx vivo tissuePharmacokinetics

    Incubation of DSIP with rat brain membrane degraded DSIP and liberated tryptophan, its N-terminal amino acid.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, rat brain membranes broke DSIP down and released the amino acid tryptophan.

    Outcome
    IncreaseDSIP degradation by rat brain membrane

    Summary
    Incubation of DSIP with rat brain membrane resulted in the degradation of DSIP with liberation of tryptophan, an N-terminal amino acid of DSIP.
  2. 02LabEx vivo tissueMechanism

    Bestatin and puromycin, aminopeptidase inhibitors, significantly inhibited the degradation of DSIP and the release of tryptophan by rat brain membrane.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, two enzyme blockers slowed the breakdown of DSIP by rat brain membranes.

Natural levels measured3

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.

  1. 03LabEndogenous levelEx vivo tissueMechanism

    High K+ depolarization significantly stimulated the release of immunoreactive DSIP-like substance from rat brain slices and synaptosomes.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, depolarizing rat brain tissue made it release the body's own DSIP-like material.

    Outcome
    IncreaseK+-evoked release of irDSIP from slices and synaptosomes

    Summary
    The releases of immunoreactive DSIP-like substance (irDSIP) from rat brain slices and synaptosomes were significantly stimulated by high K(+)-evoked depolarization.

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

  2. 04LabEndogenous levelEx vivo tissueMechanism

    The released irDSIP coeluted with native DSIP on gel filtration chromatography.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, the released DSIP-like material behaved like natural DSIP on a size-separation column.

  3. 05LabEndogenous levelEx vivo tissueMechanism

    High K+-evoked release of irDSIP did not show extracellular Ca2+ dependency.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, release of the body's own DSIP-like material did not need calcium outside the cells.
