What does this source report?
Vilon stimulated thymocyte proliferation most strongly; Epitalon was less active and Cortagen showed no such effect.
- Population and setting
- Mouse thymocytes
- Evidence type
- In vitro
- Preparation
- See the original report; formulation details require verification.
- Source language
- English indexed abstract; original language:
- Title provenance
- Title as recorded in the linked source or index. A separate original-language title has not been transcribed unless shown above.
What are the limitations?
- A neutral result in one cell assay does not determine effects in other tissues or in people.
- Full methods, reporting completeness and independent replication remain to be appraised.
Publication counts are not counts of independent trials. Reviews, translations and reports sharing participants may overlap. Findings apply to the studied preparation, population and endpoints.

Cortagen
Listed in the 2013 short-peptide review under the authors’ proposed brain target. This historical label is not an established indication. Underlying studies need individual review.
Vilon
A peptide research entry in the Khavinson evidence map. Direct studies, related extract findings, institute reports and unresolved claims are distinguished below.
Epitalon
AEDG was detected in pineal complex, but the long-term Epithalamin patient studies concern the extract. Synthetic-peptide effects require their own evidence.
