Meccanismo d'azione

Epitalon

Postulated mechanisms include modulation of gene expression in pinealocytes, telomerase activation (observed in cell culture studies) and influence on melatonin synthesis. A defined primary receptor is not established; the mechanistic basis rests on in-vitro and animal data from the Khavinson group.

Sekretin

Secretin binds the Gs-coupled secretin receptor (SCTR) on pancreatic duct cells, opens CFTR chloride channels and triggers secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid and bile flow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Epitalon and Sekretin?: Epitalon is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Sekretin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Epitalon: Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the pineal extract epithalamin (V. Khavinson, St. Petersburg). Investigated in the Russian research and anti-ageing context; Western controlled trials are largely absent. No medicines approval in EU or US. Sekretin: Secretin is a 27-amino-acid hormone that regulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. As ChiRhoStim it is FDA-approved as a diagnostic agent (pancreatic function test, gastrinoma test, secretin-enhanced MRCP). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Epitalon or Sekretin?: The highest available evidence level is "Studio sull'uomo" for Epitalon and "Studio sull'uomo" for Sekretin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
What is the legal status of Epitalon and Sekretin in Germany and the United States?: Germania: Epitalon — Non approvato, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Epitalon — Non approvato, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
