DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is also known as:
- Delta sleep peptide
- DSIP-10
- TRP-GLY-ARG-PRO-GLY-TRP-LEU-PRO-SER-PRO
- Tryptophan-glycine-arginine-proline-glycine-tryptophan-leucine-proline-serine-proline
- TRP-GLY-ARG-PRO-GLY-TRP-LEU-PRO-SER-PRO-NH2
- Tryptophan-glycine-arginine-proline-glycine-tryptophan-leucine-proline-serine-proline amide
DSIP is a small peptide hormone that is naturally produced in the brain. It is thought to work by binding to specific receptors in the brain that regulate sleep and wakefulness. DSIP also has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
DSIP is being investigated for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including:
- Insomnia
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Stroke
- Traumatic brain injury
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Pain
- Inflammation
DSIP is still in the early stages of development as a drug, but the existing evidence suggests that it is a safe and well-tolerated drug with the potential to improve sleep quality, protect neurons from damage, and improve cognitive function.
Here are some other names for DSIP that are used in the scientific literature:
- Delta sleep-promoting peptide
- Delta sleep-inducing factor
- Delta sleep peptide-10
- TRP-Gly-Arg-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Pro-Ser-Pro amide
- TRP-Gly-Arg-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Pro-Ser-Pro-NH2
It is important to note that some of these names may be used to refer to slightly different versions of DSIP. For example, DSIP-10 is a specific form of DSIP that is composed of 10 amino acids.
If you are interested in learning more about DSIP, it is important to talk to your doctor.
