Schoenenberger GA, Monnier M · 1977 · Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 74(3):1282-1286
What does this source report?
The Basel group characterized the nine-amino-acid sequence and reported delta/spindle EEG enhancement with synthetic DSIP in its assay.
- Population and setting
- 58 rabbits including controls; peptide characterization
- Evidence type
- Animal / experimental
- Preparation
- Synthetic DSIP and comparison peptides
- Source language
- eng
- 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?
- Historical rabbit assay, not clinical validation. Later studies produced inconsistent sleep findings.
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.
