Bioregulators, in the context of hormonal health and longevity, are a class of short-chain peptides that are thought to possess organ-specific or tissue-specific regulatory effects on gene expression and protein synthesis. These naturally occurring compounds are believed to restore the functional capacity of aging or damaged organs and tissues by normalizing their physiological processes. They represent an area of study focused on modulating the body’s intrinsic capacity for repair and homeostasis at a cellular level.
Origin
This term originates from peptide science and gerontology research, particularly from the study of naturally occurring signaling molecules in mammals. The name itself combines the prefix ‘bio-‘, meaning ‘life’, with ‘regulators’, indicating their function in governing or controlling biological processes within the organism.
Mechanism
The proposed mechanism of action for bioregulators involves their direct interaction with the cellular machinery to influence gene transcription. These short peptides are hypothesized to bind to specific DNA sequences or regulatory proteins within the cell nucleus of their target organ. By doing so, they are believed to modulate the synthesis of regulatory proteins, effectively turning on or off genes that control cellular differentiation, proliferation, and function, thereby supporting the organ’s youthful function.
