[Antidiabetogenic action of Pro-Gly-Arg and Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg peptides after their intranasal chronic administration to animals].

It was shown that chronic (over 7 days) intranasal injection of the Pro-Gly-Arg tripeptide to rats in the dose 1 mg/kg before the injection of a diabetogenic dose of alloxan, promotes effective defense against development of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. At the same time, the tetra-peptide Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg did not show a hypoglycemic affect during diabetes mellitus provocation. Administration of Pro-Gly-Arg and Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg peptides also activates anticoagulation potential.
