1 小时 26 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast.
Where we discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology.
At Stanford School of Medicine.
Today we are discussing peptides.
Peptides are a topic that's receiving a lot of attention these days.
In part because of the excitement about the so called GLP one analogs, or agonists.
GLP one stands for glucagon like peptides.
These are drugs used to treat I type two diabetes.
As well as drugs used to treat obesity.
Today we are not going to discuss the GLP one analogs.
However, we are going to discuss some of the other peptides.
That are receiving a lot of attention these days.
Including peptides for tissue healing and repair.
As well as peptides that impact longevity and vitality.
Now, in principle, any discussion about peptides could be enormously vast.
And that's because there are so many different kinds of peptides.
And by the way, I will explain what a peptide is in just a few moments.
But, for instance, insulin, which is involved in regulating our blood sugar or blood glucose levels.
Is a peptide, oxytocin.
