Results from this study7

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone7

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. 01AnimalNot a test of Humanin aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Pharmacokinetics

    Intranasally given Colivelin, a Humanin derivative, was transferred to the central nervous system via the olfactory bulb.

    Summary
    In this study, we show that intranasally (i.n.) administered CLN can be successfully transferred to CNS via the olfactory bulb.

    In this study, Humanin 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 Humanin.

  2. 02AnimalNot a test of Humanin aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    Intranasal Colivelin, a Humanin derivative, reduced memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease models in a dose-responsive manner.

    In plain wordsIn animal models of Alzheimer's disease, a Humanin-based peptide given through the nose eased memory problems, with larger doses working better.

    Summary
    Using several behavioral tests, we have demonstrated that i.n. administered CLN ameliorates memory impairment of AD models in a dose-responsive manner.

    In this study, Humanin 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 Humanin.

  3. 03AnimalNot a test of Humanin aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    Memory benefit of Humanin derivatives such as Colivelin appeared correlated with higher STAT3 phosphorylation in the septohippocampal region.

    In plain wordsIn animal models, the memory benefit of a Humanin-based peptide was linked to higher STAT3 activity in a memory-related brain area.

    Summary
    Attenuation of AD-related memory impairment by HN derivatives such as CLN appears to be correlated with an increase in STAT3 phosphorylation levels in the septohippocampal region, suggesting that anti-AD activities of HN derivatives may be mediated by activation of STAT3 in vivo as they are in vitro.

    In this study, Humanin 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 Humanin.

  4. 04AnimalNot a test of Humanin aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    Colivelin treatment inhibited the amyloid-beta induced decrease in the number of choline acetyltransferase-positive neurons in the medial septum.

    In plain wordsIn animal models, a Humanin-based peptide prevented the loss of acetylcholine-making nerve cells caused by amyloid-beta.
