Also known as: Cerebrolysin
A peptide preparation derived from porcine brain tissue with neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties, used clinically in several countries for stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.
Sign in to rate this peptide.
Cerebrolysin is a mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids derived from purified pig brain proteins that mimics endogenous neurotrophic factors. It is thought to promote neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis, partly by acting like neurotrophins such as BDNF and GDNF. It also reduces excitotoxicity and oxidative stress, supporting its clinical use in neurodegenerative and ischemic conditions.
