Abstract
Method of ameliorating effects of aging in an animal, the method comprising administering to the animal an effective amount of a synthetic polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that has 10+q amino acids, wherein, under physiological conditions, residues numbered n, n+4, n+9 are positively charged amino acids, residues numbered n+3, n+7 are negatively charged amino acids, wherein the remaining amino acids are nonpolar amino acids or uncharged polar amino acids, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 1+q and q is a whole number greater than or equal to zero. Experiments demonstrating the effect were performed with a polypeptide having the sequence Arg-Thr-Gln-Glu-His-Thr-Ala-Glu-Cys-Lys.
