Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide DSIP
DSIP is short for Delta sleep-inducing peptides, which is a peptide classified as a neuropeptide that when infused into the mesodiencephalic ventricle of recipient rabbits and works by inducing spindle and delta EEG activity and reducing motor activities.
Functions:
DSIP may be used on its own to help users sleep better. It decreases basal corticotropin level and blocks its release. It stimulates release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and in addition stimulates release of somatoliberin and somatotrophin secretion and inhibits somatostatin secretion.
Furthermore, this peptide acts as a stress limiting factor, it also can normalize blood pressure and myocardial contraction. DSIP has been shown to enhance the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in rat mitochondria in vitro, suggesting it may have antioxidant effects.
Some studies suggest a link between DSIP and slow-wave sleep (SWS) promotionand suppression of paradoxical sleep, (PS) while some studies show no correlation. Stronger effects on sleep have been noted for the synthesized analogues of DSIP. Effect of this peptide vary from person to person, it's the truth that not everybody responds equally well to the treament of DSIP, we still need to explore the indeed effectiveness by our own.
