It's tetrapeptides. And it means little. Tetrapeptides are simply snippets of protein. (tetra=four, peptide=2 or more amino acids bonded together)

So what it is telling us is *very little*. That's why I included a contact address if you were interested in learning more. I'm not. If anyone else happens, we'll eventually hear of it. It's just a new avenue that researchers are pursuing right now - tetrapeptides that are no doubt used in brain chemistry, bonded to a precursor of some neurotransmitter? All it means is here's something that can pass the brain/blood barrier.

It may lead nowhere. There was some excitement among allergy sufferers who loved cats about a new vaccine coming out called Catvax. Unfortunately, the excitement faded away after it failed to pass Phase III or IV (forget which). Such is the road to new meds.
