Livagen
Also known as: KEDA, Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala, Liver Bioregulator, Hepatoprotective Peptide, Svetinorm
KEDA Tetrapeptide | Liver Bioregulator
Overview
Livagen is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide (KEDA) with significant hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory properties. Structurally similar to Epitalon, it normalizes immune and antioxidant status while restoring liver function in hepatitis conditions. Livagen is best known for its ability to decondense chromatin, activating silent genes including ribosomal genes to boost protein synthesis and cellular activity. Maximum protective effects occur during aging.
Key benefits
- Significant hepatoprotective properties
- Decondenses chromatin to activate genes
- Restores liver function in hepatitis
- Normalizes immune status
- Improves antioxidant status
- Activates ribosomal gene expression
- Maximum effects occur during aging
- Boosts protein synthesis and cell activity
Mechanism of action
Livagen works through direct effects on DNA structure and function. It decondenses chromatin (tightly packed DNA), increasing expression of certain genes and improving the 'youthful' profile of cells. The peptide activates multiple genes in lymphocytes, including previously silent ribosomal genes, boosting protein synthesis and cell activity. It exhibits hepatoprotective effects through normalizing immune and antioxidant status in liver tissue.
