[Peptide regulation of aging].
The paper shows a new concept of the mechanisms responsible for aging with emphasis on regulatory peptides. The concept opens basically new approaches to preventing premature aging, to prolonging the individual's active life, and eliminating pathological states and processes associated with age-specific changes. The regulatory peptides described in the paper are now regarded as new-generation therapeutical and preventive agents that can produce a naturally target corrective action on the diseased organ and tissue without adverse side effects.
