Chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of a VGF peptide named TLQP-21 increased resting energy expenditure and temperature in mice. Furthermore, in mice fed a high-fat diet, the same peptide prevented the increase in body and white adipose tissue (WAT) weight as well as hormonal changes associated with a high-fat regimen.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane is an organically modified silane that has been found to aggregate in the form of normal micelles as well as reverse micelles.

Antho-RFamide is a neuropeptide isolated from the sea anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima). Antho-RFamide contains a specific carboxyl-terminal sequence, Arg-Phe-NH2, that plays an important role in neural signaling. Antho-RFamide can be used to study the function of neuropeptides in the nervous system of the simplest animals.
