Orexin A human, rat, mouse, a 33 amino acid excitatory neuropeptide, orchestrates diverse central and peripheral processes. Orexin A human, rat, mouse has been used to study its effect on the functioning of porcine pancreatic islets. It has also been used as an orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) antagonist to study the effect of orexin systems in the effect of etonogestrel on respiratory response to prolonged metabolic acidosis.

Hepcidin-1 (mouse) is an endogenous peptide hormone involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Hepcidin-1 (mouse) upregulates mRNA levels of TRAP, cathepsin K, and MMP-9 and increases TRAP-5b protein secretion. Hepcidin-1 (mouse) downregulates the level of FPN1 protein and increases intracellular iron. Hepcidin-1 (mouse) facilitates osteoclast differentiation.
