Results from this study3

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, Humanin 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 Humanin.

  1. 01LabNot a test of Humanin aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In neurons exposed to fibrillar amyloid-beta 40, S14G-humanin restored the amyloid-induced rise in intracellular calcium.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on neurons, a humanin derivative reversed the calcium rise that amyloid-beta caused.

    Summary
    Data from this study showed that fibrillar amyloid-beta 40 disturbed cellular ho-meostasis through the cell membrane, increasing intracellular calcium, generating reactive oxygen species, and decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential. S14G-humanin restored these responses.
