Peptide correction of age-related hormonal dysfunction of the pancreas in monkeys

We studied the effect of Epithalon on the function of pancreatic islets and regulation of blood glucose level in female rhesus monkeys of various ages. Epithalon corrected the age-related decrease in glucose tolerance and restored the dynamics of insulin level in response to glucose load.
