Gut & digestive tract: peptides in published research

Sources checked 2026-10-07 · 8 compounds · 11 cited studies

Scope: Stomach, small intestine and colon. Each entry names the model and the tissue that a published study looked at, with the citation. It describes what was studied, not what was found, and a listing here is not a claim that a compound does anything in that organ.
