Effect of Epithalon on Age-Specific Changes in the Retina in Rats with Hereditary Pigmentary Dystrophy

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of peptide bioregulator Epithalon on the course of hereditary pigmentary retinal degeneration was studied in Campbell rats. Administration of epithalon starting from birth protected morphological structure, increased its bioelectrical activity, and improved its function.
