Usage examples of peptide.
Oh yes, it is an interesting accomplishment, but beyond it we are facing a damned blank wall which we do not have techniques to penetrate, may not have for many years, and even then the peptide Peat-Smith has postulated may not be behind the wall.
What was known, via a letter from Nigel Bentley, the Harlow administrator, was that the British technical achievement involved purification of a brain peptide mixture obtained from rats, and maze tests on rats had shown it to be effective in improving the memories of older animals.
Despite favorable signals, the latest peptide mix presented difficulties.
For the work of further refining, and to identify and isolate the single, critical memory peptide, larger quantities were essential.
That alone was excellent news but, to top it, there had been a successful refinement of the peptide mix, eventually allowing isolation of a single active peptide.
This-the much-sought-after Peptide-proved to be the seventh band on the original chromatogram films and was immediately referred to as Peptide 7.
It concerned the older rats that had been receiving regular peptide injections over several months.
Could it be that Peptide 7, while beneficial to the mind, was harmful to the body?
They were a group which, for several months, had been injected with the partially purified peptide mix, and more recently with peptide 7.
Suppose Peptide 7, as well as improving memory, caused a healthy weight loss.
At the same time, tests for Peptide Ts safety and effectiveness continued via injections into animals.
And titillating the public now could help sales of Peptide 7 later on.
Celia was shocked to learn of the Harlow devastation-so much in contrast to the recent heady progress reports concerning Peptide 7.
Even now she was thinking, with excited optimism, about Peptide 7 and Hexin W.
Now, not only was all of it recovered, but development of Peptide 7 had advanced to the point of being ready for a management product review.
