Chemistry:Vesugen

From HandWiki

Vesugen (T-38) is a tripeptide with the sequence KED or Lys-Glu-Asp. It is one of a number of small peptides developed in Russia in the late 1990s and early 2000s[1] which are purported to have anti-aging effects.[2][3] Vesugen is claimed to stimulate proliferation and protein synthesis in fibroblast cells in the skin and to improve the appearance of skin,[4][5] as well as promoting neurotropic effects in brain tissue,[6][7][8] giving it a similar pharmacological profile to those claimed for the matrikine peptides produced by Western cosmetic skincare companies.
