  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In male Wistar rats, intraperitoneal DSIP (60 nmol/kg) decreased the number of Fos-immunoreactive cells in the paraventricular nucleus activated by immobilization.

    In plain wordsIn rats, DSIP reduced the number of stress-activated Fos-positive cells in a brain area that controls the stress response.

    were studied in the parvocellular subdivision of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (pPVN) of male Wistar rats with either high or low resistance to emotional stress, predicted from differences in their open-field behaviour.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

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 predisposed to emotional stress, the NMDA-receptor antagonist dizocilpine prevented the DSIP-induced inhibition of c-Fos expression in the paraventricular nucleus.

    In plain wordsIn rats prone to stress, a drug that blocks NMDA receptors stopped DSIP from lowering c-Fos in a stress-related brain area.
