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, Elamipretide (SS-31) 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 Elamipretide (SS-31).

  1. 01AnimalNot a test of Elamipretide (SS-31) aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats with methanol poisoning, combined elamipretide and methylprednisolone gave a higher retinal degeneration score (less degeneration) than methanol alone.

    In plain wordsIn rats with methanol poisoning, elamipretide plus methylprednisolone together led to less retinal damage than no treatment.

    Summary
    In the MTX-M-MPZ-E group, the retinal degeneration score was higher than in MTX-M group (p = 0.002).
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Retinal degeneration was assessed using a scoring system where higher scores indicate less degeneration, with a score of 5 representing normal structure and 1 reflecting severe degeneration.
    Summary · context
    This study aimed to biochemically and histopathologically evaluate the protective and therapeutic effects of elamipretide and methylprednisolone on methanol poisoning-induced brain, optic nerve, and retinal toxicity.

    In rats with methanol poisoning, the retinal apoptosis index was lower with combined elamipretide and methylprednisolone than with methanol alone.
