The library / Track
Body Signals track.
Body Signals follows peptides that carry messages between organs. Some, such as the gut hormones that report fullness, are well mapped and already the basis of approved drugs. Others carry nicknames that run ahead of the data, and a few come almost entirely from one group of laboratories. The notes keep those cases apart and say which species each result came from.
Read how gut peptides talk about hunger and fullness and why the love molecule label misleads first. HCG through its approved labels shows what a label can settle, while the Cortagen research record shows how thin a single-lab evidence base can be.

Your Gut Is Talking: The Peptides Behind Hunger and Fullness
Ghrelin says go, GLP-1 and PYY say stop. A tour of the small peptides that run appetite, and why they became drug targets.

A Complete Guide to the Cortagen Peptide and Its Research Record
Cortagen is a four amino acid peptide modelled on a brain extract. Rat nerve and brain studies exist, but human evidence is one unsupported sentence.

HCG Peptide Explained Through Its Approved Labels
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a two chain glycoprotein hormone, not a short peptide. Its labels cover fertility and hypogonadism, never weight loss.

Vesugen Peptide Benefits Measured in the Vascular Research Record
Vesugen research rests on small before and after reports, cell cultures and one mouse study from a single network. No human cycle or daily amount exists.
