Related mode-of-action work has evaluated changes in body weight, fat mass, lean mass, and feeding behavior in controlled models, helping researchers explore how amylin pathway activation reshapes whole-body metabolic phenotypes [4]
It was hypothesized during this investigation that these components might be "somatomedins," leading to the designation of these compounds as "insulin-like growth factors." (1) Further explorations into the insulin-like growth factors involved gene-targeting approaches to potentially enhance their bioavailability and potency
