Overview
Pancragen is a tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp) developed at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation as a pancreatic tissue bioregulator. It is intended to normalise pancreatic function, particularly insulin production by beta cells. In Russian clinical data, it has been studied in patients with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. As with all Khavinson bioregulators, the evidence base is primarily Russian clinical studies, and the proposed mechanism of direct DNA interaction remains controversial in Western pharmacology.
How it works
According to Khavinson's theory, pancragen interacts with DNA regulatory regions in pancreatic beta cells, normalising gene expression related to insulin synthesis and secretion. It is proposed to restore age-declined beta-cell function rather than stimulating additional insulin release.
