However, this effect is temporary
The peptide was originally characterized by the Sikiric group at the University of Zagreb School of Medicine and has been investigated for over two decades in preclinical research models for its effects on tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, fibroblast migration, and cellular signaling across tendon, ligament, muscle, gastrointestinal, and vascular tissues
Mechanisms include reduction of excitotoxicity and oxidative stress, enhanced neurotrophic factor expression supporting neuronal survival, angiogenesis improving cerebral blood flow, and modulation of dopamine and serotonin systems
That usually makes the rest of the article much easier to use in practice
