Overview

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a naturally occurring nonapeptide (a peptide consisting of nine amino acids) found in the brain and other tissues. It was first isolated from rabbits in 1977 and named for its ability to induce delta wave sleep. Research suggests DSIP plays a role in sleep regulation, stress response, and various physiological processes. While present endogenously, synthetic forms of DSIP have been investigated for potential therapeutic applications, particularly in areas related to sleep disturbances and mood regulation. It is typically administered via injection in research settings, due to its peptide nature which would be degraded by oral digestion. (DrugBank)
