These short peptides demonstrate direct DNA interaction and nuclear penetration in cell culture models[16]
It counteracts the consequences of traumatic brain injury directly, reducing brain edema, hemorrhagic lacerations, and subarachnoid bleeding in experimental models
Notably, ischemic brain episodes, like Alzheimers disease, mostly present alterations in the hippocampus [236]

This is why insulin, growth hormone, and many other peptide-based medications require injection-oral administration would result in degradation before the compound reaches systemic circulation
