    Summary
    A major effect of the drug at doses approximating those administered clinically to demented patients was a depression of synaptic transmission at the Schaffer collateral-commissural pathway in CA1.

    Summary · context
    In this study we have examined the effects of a clinically used porcine brain tissue hydrolysate, Cerebrolysin, on synaptic transmission in the CA1 area of rat hippocampal slices.

    Summary
    Detailed analysis showed that the inhibition is presynaptic and can be reduced by low doses of a specific blocker of adenosine A1 receptors, 8-cyclopentyltheophylline.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Cerebrolysin 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 Cerebrolysin.

    Summary
    Because Cerebrolysin does not contain a detectable amount of adenosine,

    In this study, Cerebrolysin 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 Cerebrolysin.
