Based on tests involving mice, researchers from the Erasmus University Medical Centre in the Netherlands found that the peptide eliminates senescent cells by inducing the natural cell-death process of apoptosis, while leaving healthy cells alone
This powerful antioxidant also helps recycle and reuse vitamin C [8] and vitamin E, making this power trio more effective at supporting the immune system
The requirement for cationic CPP in our study is consistent with findings from other studies, where CPPs with hydrophobic motifs did not significantly enhance cell uptake 60
In 2003, for example, researchers found that Selank significantly activated the learning process in rats with initially poor learning ability, with effects becoming apparent after just one dose on the first day of experimentation.10 A later study, in 2019, saw similarly optimistic results with regard to memory in rats intoxicated with alcohol, leading the researchers to conclude that Selank has positive implications for treating age-related memory disturbances, especially those associated with chronic alcohol use.11 The nootropic health benefits also extend to motivational mechanisms in the brain, per a 2008 study.12 Apart from Selanks influence on dopamine, this action appears to be related to an ability to stimulate the noradrenergic system, which plays a crucial role in motivational processes.12 13 Stabilizing mood Selanks mood-related effects have also been studied in rodent models
