The influence of intraperitoneal delta-sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) injection (100 micrograms/kg) on the epileptic activity was investigated in the experiments on Wistar rats and (CBA X C57B1/6)F1 mice. The model of chronically developing epileptic activity--the model of pharmacological kindling--was created by daily repeated corasole injections in subconvulsive doses (30 mg/kg). It has been shown that DSIP injection delayed the manifestation of generalized seizures during kindling, led to the suppression of seizure activity and reduced the mortality rate of animals that developed kindled seizures. The antiepileptic effect of DSIP was observed throughout the period of 5 minutes to 24 hours after the injection. Naloxone (2.5 mg/kg) did not change the antiepileptic effect of DSIP.

A structural analogue of the DSIP, peptide KND, previously showed higher detoxification efficacy upon administration of the cytotoxic drug cisplatin, compared to DSIP. DSIP and KND were investigated using the model of acute myocardial infarction in male SD rats and the model of acute focal stroke in C57Bl/6 mice. A significant decrease in the myocardial infarction area was registered in KND-treated animals relative to saline-treated control animals (19.

Aims: Sleep loss at high altitude (HA) play major role in worsening of neuropsychological functions, such as attention, memory and decision making. This study investigates the role of phosphorylated delta sleep inducing peptide (p-DSIP) in improving sleep architecture during chronic hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure and restoration of spatial navigational memory.

Methods: Morris water maze (MWM) trained rats were exposed to HH at 7620 m.

Article Synopsis
  • Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) has potential sleep-promoting effects through the induction of slow wave sleep, although its impact on insomnia is not well understood.
  • * The study created a fusion protein called PHD, combining TAT-based transduction with DSIP, and tested its effects on sleep in mice using pentobarbital-induced sleep tests.
  • * Results showed that higher doses of the PHD fusion protein reduced the time it took for mice to fall asleep and extended their sleep duration, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for insomnia.

The effect of delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) intraperitoneal injection in the doses of 40, 120, 360, and 1080 mcg/kg b. w. on lipid peroxidation and functional hepatocyte state in Wistar male rats subjected to acute and chronic electrical foot-shock stress was investigated.

Subcutaneous injections of exogenous delta sleep-inducing peptide in a dose of 100 μg/kg (monthly, 5-day courses) to rats of various age groups (2-24 months) were followed by an increase in the expression of genes for SOD 1 (Sod1) and glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1) in the brain and nucleated blood cells. The expression of these genes was shown to decrease during physiological aging of the body.
