Anti Aging Dipeptide Study – Facts You Need to Know About

The dipeptide carnosine is found in large amounts in the long living tissues of human and can delay ageing. An anti-glycating potential has been discovered more recently and carnosine can react with low-molecular-weight compounds that bear carbonyl groups. This is a physiological dipeptide and the accumulation of carbonyl groups on proteins causes ageing. On the basis of the synthesized dipeptide, a pharmaceutical was designed. It later got its name as Thymogen.

 

The effect of dipeptide on a particular life and survival was researched by making a study on female rats. This also helped to know the life span and spontaneous tumor development. The comparison was made by treating few rats with dipeptide and few in normal growth. The activity was monitored regularly until their death. This comparative study clearly explained the ageing delay in the rats that was treated with dipeptide.

 

Recently, most researches and statements indicate that, the hydrolyzed peptides have excelling antioxidant! Pena-Ramos et al. stated that, the rich and excelling ability of antioxidants on several peptides will be considered on its size along with amino constitution. In fact, dipeptide has better antioxidative activity in vipro compared to carnosine. The overall study states that dipeptide induces cellular damage and exhibits a cytoprotective effect. These findings strongly tell that the new dipeptide is a good health care for drug candidate.

 

It is expected that, in the near future such anti-agents will be associated to various lifestyle-related disease groups and physiologically active peptides in order to offer a promising approach to prevent, control and treat such diseases.
