Research History

First isolated from the cerebral venous blood of rabbits in the 1960s, DSIP has been studied for its ability to regulate circadian rhythms and its influence on endocrine hormones.

Studied Mechanisms

DSIP influences the GABAergic system and modulates cortisol levels, potentially assisting in stress response regulation and promoting deeper REM and delta-wave sleep states.
