SLU-PP-332- Summary
- Vesilute is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the retina and visual system. It supports retinal cell function, promotes normalization of photoreceptor protein synthesis, and is studied for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal aging, and vision preservation in the elderly.
- SLU-PP-332 is a small molecule exercise mimetic that activates estrogen-related receptors ERRalpha and ERRdelta (ERRa/d), transcription factors that drive oxidative metabolism programs. In animal studies it significantly enhanced endurance capacity and metabolic fitness without exercise, mimicking many of the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations of aerobic training.
