Amylin (8-37), rat is primarily used in research settings to study the physiological role of amylin, a peptide hormone involved in glucose metabolism and satiety. It serves as an antagonist to amylin receptors, allowing scientists to investigate the mechanisms by which amylin regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. This peptide is particularly valuable in diabetes research, as it helps elucidate the pathways through which amylin influences insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Additionally, it is utilized in obesity studies to explore its effects on food intake and body weight regulation. By blocking amylin receptors, researchers can better understand the hormone's impact on metabolic processes and its potential as a therapeutic target for metabolic disorders.
