[Neuroprotective effects of peptides bioregulators in people of various age].
Level 5 - mechanism / opinion, no new human data
Narrative review without systematic search methodology or primary data
What was done
This review outlines the comparative characteristics of two groups of neuroprotective peptides: polypeptide complexes (cortexin, cerebrolysin) and short peptides (semax, cortagen, pinealon). It compiles cellular and molecular mechanisms of action alongside described clinical applications in elderly and old age populations based on the existing literature.
What was found
The abstract reports no numbers, effect sizes, or quantitative findings, stating only that comparative characteristics, clinical application data, and cellular mechanisms are described.
Why it matters
It organizes the classification and reported mechanisms of peptide bioregulators evaluated for neuroprotection across different age cohorts.
Limits
The abstract provides no sample sizes, primary trial methodologies, control conditions, or numerical results. As a narrative review, it lacks a systematic literature search and formal quality assessment.
