Liver: peptides in published research

Sources checked 2026-10-07 · 9 compounds · 11 cited studies

Scope: Liver tissue, bile ducts and liver blood flow. 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.
