How Peptides help to lose weight
When we eat carbs/sugars: Your blood sugar level increases The pancreas senses the rise in blood sugar and releases insulin This insulin triggers the transport of glucose into cells, especially Continue reading

life expectancy could be increased to 110
A team of scientists in St Petersburg has developed a new style of the drug from the organs of newborn calves which, they claim, slows down the human ageing process Continue reading
Peptides to target central components in the autophagy pathway
Autophagy, meaning “self-eating” in Greek, is a general metabolic mechanism adopted by nearly all the eukaryotic species, from the single cell yeast to humans. It is a process that cells Continue reading
Peptides and Ageing
A technology has been developed for manufacturing of biologically active complex peptide preparations from extracts of different tissues. In particular, the pineal preparation (Epithalamin) augments the in vitro outgrowth of Continue reading

proteins to rebuild tooth enamel and treat dental cavities.
Researchers at the University of Washington have designed a convenient and natural product that uses proteins to rebuild tooth enamel and treat dental cavities. The research finding was first published Continue reading
Basic Peptide Prime
What is a peptide? Peptides (proteins) are present in every living cell and possess a variety of biochemical activities. Some peptides are synthesized in the ribosomes of a cell by Continue reading
Peptides Basics
GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) + GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) = 10 star GH Release (**********) GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide aka Ghrelin-mimetic) = 3 star GH Release (***) Continue reading
Targeted Apoptosis of Senescent Cells Restores Tissue Homeostasis in Response to Chemotoxicity and Aging
Highlights •A modified FOXO4-p53 interfering peptide causes p53 nuclear exclusion in senescent cells •This FOXO4 peptide induces targeted apoptosis of senescent cells (TASC) •TASC neutralizes murine liver chemotoxicity from doxorubicin Continue reading
Peptides target prostate cancer mutation
Peptides developed by Michigan researchers could lead to a targeted therapy for half of all prostate cancer patients. University of Michigan researchers have identified a large molecule that selectively attacks Continue reading
Study reveals using synthetic peptides could be a better solution for grass allergy sufferers
A new approach to treating grass allergies offers potential as a shorter and more effective alternative to traditional allergy shots, according to a recent study led by Queen’s researcher Dr. Continue reading
Protein peptides profile
Protein peptides profile peptides are short polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They have the same peptide bonds as those in proteins, but are commonly shorter in length. Continue reading
in depth What are peptides ?
What are peptides ? Peptides are small proteins. Peptides and proteins differ only in their length: Proteins >100 amino acids Peptides 2-100 amino acids Peptides and proteins are macromolecules, i.e. Continue reading
New technology offers fast peptide synthesis
Manufacturing small proteins known as peptides is usually very time-consuming, which has slowed development of new peptide drugs for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections. To help speed Continue reading
Peptides and Food
GH-releasing peptide-6 overcomes refractoriness of somatotropes to GHRH after feeding, C D McMahon, Journal of Endocrinology (2001) 170, 235–241 After a meal, somatotropes are temporarily refractory to growth hormone-releasing hormone Continue reading
