[The influence of substances revealing geroprotective of spontaneous carcinogenesis in mice].
Popovich. I G IG
Key Findings
- Melatonin, Epitalon, Deltaran, Aqualen, and Neuronol each showed anti‑aging and anti‑cancer effects in multiple mouse strains.
- The magnitude of lifespan extension and tumor suppression depended on the administered dose and the specific mouse genetics.
- Age‑related changes in estrus (reproductive cycle) were also mitigated by these compounds.
Practical Outcomes
- These results suggest that the listed peptides and related compounds may have geroprotective properties, but the evidence is limited to animal models and is highly strain‑specific. For biohackers, the takeaway is that low‑dose, well‑timed supplementation of melatonin or Epitalon could be explored, but only under professional supervision and with the understanding that human data are still lacking.
Summary
In mice, several substances—including melatonin, the synthetic peptide Epitalon, the sleep‑inducing peptide Deltaran, the gut‑binding agent Aqualen, and a succinic‑acid mix called Neuronol—slowed age‑related reproductive changes, reduced spontaneous tumor growth, and lengthened lifespan. The benefits varied with the dose given and the genetic background of the mouse strain.
Abstract
The review presents the results of experimental studies conducted by the author. CBA, SHR, HER-2/neu and SAM mice revealed inhibition of age-related alterations in estrus function and spontaneous tumour development and showed life span extension under the influence of the pineal gland hormone Melatonin, synthetic peptide bioregulator Epitalon, delta-sleep-inducing peptide Deltaran, enterosorbent Aqualen and succinic acid containing preparation Neuronol (Noogam). The observed effect depended on the dose and conditions of administration, as well as genetic predisposition of the particular mice strains to tumour development.
