title: Peptide correction of age-related hormonal dysfunction of the pancreas in monkeys.
abstract: We studied the effect of Epithalon on the function of pancreatic islets and regulation of blood glucose level in female rhesus monkeys of various ages. Epithalon corrected the age-related decrease in glucose tolerance and restored the dynamics of insulin level in response to glucose load.
