• Telomerase biology: Studies have examined Epitalon's effects on telomerase activity in human somatic cell cultures and its interaction with hTERT expression (Khavinson et al., 2003).
• Aging models: Research in animal models has investigated relationships between Epitalon administration and lifespan parameters in rodent studies.
• Pineal function: Studies have examined Epitalon's effects on melatonin secretion patterns in aged rodent models.
• Antioxidant systems: Research has explored effects on enzymatic antioxidant pathways in cellular models.
