Muscle & tendon: peptides in published research
Sources checked 2026-10-07 · 6 compounds · 9 cited studies
Scope: Skeletal muscle and tendons. 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.

About this page
- A compound is listed under an organ only when at least one published study or trial we could cite looked at that organ or tissue.
- Sentences describe the model and tissue; they do not report results. Follow the citation for what the authors found.
- Only abstracts and open-access full texts were used.
