Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide

Meaning

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide, or DSIP, is a naturally occurring nonapeptide found primarily in the brain and various endocrine tissues. Its clinical significance stems from its capacity to promote the electrophysiological activity associated with slow-wave sleep, which is also known as Delta sleep. This restorative stage of sleep is fundamentally crucial for tissue repair, memory consolidation, and the pulsatile, nocturnal release of vital anabolic hormones.
