SLU-PP-332- Summary
- Vesugen is a tripeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for blood vessels and the vascular endothelium. It supports endothelial cell function, promotes vascular wall integrity, and is studied for atherosclerosis prevention, vascular aging, and cardiovascular health maintenance. It is one of the more broadly applicable Khavinson bioregulators given the ubiquity of vascular tissue.
- 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.
