The metabolic biology collection explores how the body coordinates appetite, nutrient handling and glucose availability through hormone signalling — the receptor systems most frequently studied in modern peptide research.
Triple agonists are research peptides designed to engage the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors simultaneously.
GLP-1 is an incretin hormone released after eating that engages a receptor system central to appetite and glucose-dependent signalling.
GIP is an incretin hormone released after nutrient intake that works alongside GLP-1 to coordinate the body's metabolic response.
Glucagon is a hormone released during fasting that signals the liver and helps maintain blood glucose availability.
The incretin system is the network of gut hormones released after eating that coordinate the body's metabolic response.
