Where the 9,273 participant records come from
This historical working total combines reported headcounts from military, aerospace, sports and environmental research. It includes controls, observational participants and nonpeptide intervention groups. Publication overlap and individual treatment exposure remain unresolved.
| Research program | People | Count and evidence scope |
|---|---|---|
| Furgal, 1996 · military immunology and infection prevention ↗ | 7,630 | Thirteen military units followed for 4–24 months in the immunocorrection series. The total includes vaccine, nonpeptide and comparator groups, as well as the Thymalin and Thymogen subgroups. |
| Pyatibrat, 2016 · military operational performance ↗ | 570 | Overall dissertation program. Chapter 5 reports a 320-person comparison inside that program. The published treatment table adds to 310. |
| Cheprasov, 1997 · aerospace medicine ↗ | 328 | The text and Table 1 report 328 people across 12 series. The stage counts add to 338, so the working total retains the author’s stated 328 pending reconciliation. |
| Khabarov, 2008 · military injury rehabilitation ↗ | 76 | Seventy-six selected from 317 screened for combined injuries. The additional 241 screened people are counted separately below. |
| Itemized sports and environmental studies ↗ | 669 | 510 sports and exercise records plus 159 environmental and vestibular records. Related reports with unresolved overlap add no records. |
| Working total | 9,273 | Four parent programs plus the itemized sports and environmental cohorts. |
| Including additional screening | 9,568 | Also includes 241 screening records from Khabarov and 54 from Buynov outside the selected groups. |
Sports and environmental studies counted individually
The earlier subtotal of 698 had no source-by-source list. This review replaces it with 669 records supported by the studies listed below. When reports may share participants, the table explains which count was used and which reports were held out.
Furgal’s eleven reported series within the 7,630
These are the series sizes listed in the author’s abstract, including their controls and comparators. The 240-person donor series is within the program count. The abstract reports at least 83.7% immune responders with peptide-inclusive immunization versus 60.5% with standard vaccination, with antibody titres of at least 9.6±0.2 versus 8.6±0.7 IU/mL.
| Series | People |
|---|---|

Cheprasov’s aerospace program by research stage
The author’s abstract reports 98 pilots and 46 cosmonauts among the 328 examined. The separate panel of 47 modeling experts is outside the participant table. The stage counts below total 338. The abstract leaves the reason for the ten-person discrepancy unclear.
| Research stage | Series | People |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmonaut health simulation | 1 | Simulation only |
| Cosmonaut morbidity | 1 | 38 |
| Functional-state assessment algorithms | 2 | 60 |
| Pilot monitoring during flight training | 1 | 72 |
| Operators in extreme environments | 1 | 8 |
| Flight personnel rehabilitation | 1 | 26 |
| Peptide bioregulators under adverse exposures | 3 | 116 |
| Postflight Thymogen in cosmonauts | 1 | 8 |
| Cortexin and sleep disturbances | 1 | 10 |
The 116-person block contains the 30-person hypobaric hypoxia comparison, the 70-person Coriolis motion-tolerance comparison and the 16-person sustained-work comparison. The eight-person postflight study and ten-person sleep study have separate rows in Table 1.

Four findings worth a closer look
Cycling to exhaustion
Day 21 for paired brain fractions versus saline, six cyclists per arm. The companion filing substantially overlaps.
See the results and methods ↗VIR-8 during hypoxia and cold
Loaded swim time favored VIR-8 in cold (p=0.0002). In heat the comparison was 16.8 versus 16.9 seconds (p=0.99).
See the results and methods ↗Soy hydrolysate and repeated swimming
Group mean time rose by about 344%. The paper’s 511% averages individual changes. Eight soy-group rats were in the final plotted comparison.
See the results and methods ↗GHK and liver-cell division
Mitotic index after ten injections of copper-free GHK at 1.5 µg/kg versus saline, eight per group. Some higher doses worsened tissue condition.
See the results and methods ↗From brain fractions to performance under stress
Researchers tested acute task performance, tolerance of environmental stress, and preservation of tissue function during disuse or recovery. The sources span animal experiments, athlete patent disclosures, human physiology and military archives.
Sports findings ↗ · Military and occupational findings ↗ · Historical research philosophy ↗
From PPK-V to distinct preparations
PPK-V versus Cortexin, Semax and Dalargin: rat peptide-profile study ↗
The 2020 study compared six experimental brain mixtures with Cortexin, Semax and Dalargin. PPK-V is the cortex-derived mixture. Table 2 reports 552±44 seconds in hypoxia and 289±66 seconds in loaded swimming. Different doses and cohorts limit direct rankings. Matching book and journal tables are treated as one evidence series.
RU2503459C2: paired brain peptide fractions in cycling and swimming — RU2503459C2 ↗
The athlete disclosure describes a 2–5 kDa limbic fraction and a 0.5–0.9 kDa midbrain fraction. At day 21, the pair reached 15.5 km versus 7.1 km with saline in submaximal cycling and 38 versus 23 minutes in the swim-endurance test. Six athletes per arm per sport. The companion filing largely repeats the B and saline values.
Oleyl-Cortagen versus Cortagen: central and systemic rat assays ↗
The 496-rat dissertation compared Oleyl-Cortagen, Cortagen, Cortexin and Cerebrolysin. At 1 µg into the ventricle, Oleyl-Cortagen increased self-stimulation from 159.7 to 199.1 presses per five minutes. Higher central doses had smaller responses. The behavioral readout leaves brain exposure after systemic dosing unresolved.
Shabanov’s rat peptide behavior comparison: Oleyl-Cortagen and Cortexin ↗
In the separate systemic comparison, hypothalamic self-stimulation increased 32% with Oleyl-Cortagen and 23% with Cortexin. Unmodified Cortagen and Cerebrolysin showed no change on that endpoint.
Endurance, stress response and preservation
Soy peptide hydrolysate and loaded swimming in rats ↗
A soy hydrolysate averaging about 6 kDa increased mean swim time from 91 to 404 seconds. The paper’s 511% averages individual changes. Final plotted groups were 9, 8 and 8 for whey, soy and amino acids. Four animals were lost. Size is the comparison with PPK-V. Active sequences remain unidentified.
MOTS-c during seven days of rat hindlimb unloading ↗
Daily MOTS-c during seven days of rat hindlimb unloading preserved isolated soleus fatigue resistance and mitigated slow-fiber atrophy. Fast-fiber atrophy persisted. The full paper is needed to verify group sizes, dose and the size of the fatigue effect.
DSIP across hypoxia, swimming, immobilization and audiogenic stress ↗
The dissertation describes selected brain monoamine changes for up to five days after DSIP injection and delayed fatigue in forced swimming. Original numerical outcome tables and series-specific doses remain open.
DSIP analogues ID-1, ID-3 and ID-8 in age-stratified rat stress models ↗
ID-1, ID-3 and ID-8 were studied alongside DSIP and piracetam. The archive describes age-dependent changes in leukocytes, oxidative markers and chromosome damage. Exact sequences and comparative tables remain acquisition targets.
Noopept and age-dependent responses to exercise stress in rats ↗
Morgul reported lower anxiety-like behavior and a higher ratio of purposeful to nonpurposeful activity in both three-month and 18-month rats during exercise-stress research.
Epithalamin under exercise and restricted movement in younger and older rats ↗
The Epithalamin dissertation describes stronger stress-marker responses in young rats during exhaustive activity and in older rats during restricted movement.
Environmental stress, combinations and mechanism
Ganapolsky’s 86-man climate-chamber conference report ↗
The 86-man Tabai report describes 24% lower state anxiety and 19% lower trait anxiety with Dilept during cold, zero reported arithmetic errors with Noopept during heat, and higher work-capacity indices with Cortexin at simulated altitude. The report lacks per-arm counts and contains an inconsistent placebo p-value statement.
VIR-8, Hypoxen and comparators under hypoxia with heat or cold ↗
VIR-8 improved mouse swimming under hypoxia plus cold by a reported 178% and gave a neutral heat result. The protocol used 5 mg/kg rectally for five days. The paper gives the manufacturer, Mobitek-M. Sequences and molecular-weight distribution remain unresolved.
Kim’s hypoxia and temperature model: original animal tables ↗
Kim’s physiology experiments included 105 mice and 120 rats. Swim time fell from 6.6 to 2.0 minutes between comfortable water and +40°C in the hypoxia model. Hypoxia explained 48% of modeled variation, heat 34%, and their interaction 5%. The additivity index was 0.71. The cold-air survival comparison had an overall p=0.12.
Kim’s five-peptide stress comparison: Chapter 6.4 evidence audit ↗
Chapter 6.4 names Cortexin, Pineamin, Prostatilen, Thymalin and Thymogen. The dissertation highlights Pineamin in its conclusions. Exact doses, group sizes and relative performance still require the original tables. The HIF-1α and TSPO papers describe stress physiology, and the DMAE derivative is a separate nonpeptide intervention.
HIF-1α and TSPO expression in heat-tolerant and heat-sensitive rats ↗
After extreme heat, TSPO expression was reported about 1.6–2-fold higher across measured tissues. HIF-1α expression also varied with heat tolerance. The study grouped rats by heat response.
HIF-1α expression and hypoxia tolerance in rats ↗
Kim’s hypoxia study found tissue-specific differences in baseline expression between high- and low-tolerance rats. Its qPCR ratios describe gene expression relative to a reference.
Autonomic responses to simulated altitude and heat in volunteers ↗
In healthy volunteers exposed to simulated altitude or heat, heart-rate variability correlated with selected neural, circulatory and ventilatory measures. The full correlation tables are still an acquisition target.
Amino-acid analysis of Pineamin and three organ peptide preparations ↗
The Pineamin analysis reports 731.23 µg of measured amino acids per mg of lyophilizate, with detectable taurine and ornithine. Three printed batch means disagree with their arithmetic averages. The assay measures composition after hydrolysis and leaves intact sequences unidentified.
Pineamin and ejaculate quality and symptoms associated with male aging ↗
In a separate open comparison of 60 men, median sperm concentration increased from 20 to 31 million/mL at three months with Pineamin. The paper addresses semen outcomes and uses L-carnitine as the active comparator.
Semax, TRH and FMRFamide in rat hemorrhage and hypobaric hypoxia ↗
The defined three-peptide mixture was studied in a 595-rat program. A smaller hemorrhage pretreatment experiment reported 23% mortality versus 79% in controls. The hypoxia experiments used a separate schedule. The 1997 journal record belongs to the same research trail.
Cooperative regulatory peptide effects in rat hypoxic shock ↗
The indexed journal report documents the hypoxic-shock branch of the same research program. The quantitative hemorrhage result comes from a separate experiment in the dissertation.
Modification of piracetam’s nootropic action by phenibut, Bemitil and Sydnocarb ↗
Kim’s Shustov-supervised work compared piracetam with Bemitil, phenibut or sydnocarb. The Bemitil interaction varied by ratio, and the author reported about twice the elimination rate with piracetam. The complete pharmacokinetic tables remain missing.

Original tables, new compound records and related research
Follow the study links for original methods, study exposures and reported results. The study-level count explains which records contribute to the historical tally.
How publications and participants were counted
Volume III first describes a 10,000 m acute mouse screen. Its course Table 11 then repeats the values printed in the 2018 paper’s Table 1, which specifies male rats and 11,500 m. The animal table contributes no human participants.
2014 Table 11 ↗ · 2018 Table 1 ↗ · Side-by-side source audit ↗
| Research trail | Count handling |
|---|---|
| 2014 monograph and 2018 Thymogen paper | The course-hypoxia data match across 16 arms. Index once as a rat experiment. The acute mouse protocol is described separately, with no extra count for the repeated publication. |
| Furgal program | Count 7,630 as reported across 13 units. Donor and prevention series are inside that denominator. The 1993 Thymogen report is an overlapping lead pending its original recruitment records. |
| Cheprasov aerospace research | Retain the reported 328 with the 338 row sum visible. Its 30, 70, 16 and eight-person comparisons are subseries. Independence of related aerospace publications remains unresolved. |
| Khabarov rehabilitation | 317 screened, 76 selected, 60 analyzed. The screening expansion adds 241 to the historical tally. The treatment results add no people. |
| Pyatibrat field exercise | Retain 570 at program level. The 320 comparison, the 310 printed in Table 49 and the 320 conference report describe related scopes. The seven- and eight-day course descriptions remain distinct. |
| Emirova rowing | The journal and dissertation describe the same research program. Use the 120 dissertation count once per program and retain the reported arm-size differences. |
| Tabai chamber and sports proceedings | The 86 and 127 Tabai reports, the 20-archer and 45-athlete Semax reports, and the 14-person Cortexin biathlon trail require cross-publication matching. |
| Cortexin in biathletes | The 2014 paper reports 20 athletes. Its patent citation and repeated shooting result leave overlap with the earlier biathlon trail unresolved. The 20 add no records. |
| Pinealon in artistic gymnastics | The 2013 proceedings report 16 gymnasts and 20 student controls on p. 362. The related abstract on p. 311 adds no records. |
| Cortexin and Semax in rats | The 2022 and 2023 articles print identical weighted-swim results at all six time points. They are one animal evidence family. |
| Brain-fraction patents | RU2503459C2 and RU2496504C1 largely repeat Fraction B and saline results. The 48-person example is never added twice. |
Original Thymogen, altitude and motion studies
