DSIP

Description

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a naturally occurring neuropeptide originally isolated from the cerebral venous blood of rabbits in an induced state of sleep. It is primarily known for its ability to induce slow-wave (Delta) EEG activity, playing a critical role in circadian rhythm regulation and sleep architecture. Beyond sleep modulation, research suggests DSIP possesses potent stress-protective, antioxidant, and neurotrophic properties, making it a subject of interest for studies involving endocrine regulation and physiological stress responses.
