Cholesterol (from animal) is the major sterol in mammals. It is making up 20-25% of structural component of the plasma membrane. Plasma membranes are highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons. Cholesterol (from animal) plays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of the membrane as well as the function of both the transporters and signaling proteins. Cholesterol (from animal) is also an endogenous estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) agonist.

D-Glucose is the naturally occurring form of glucose and the most abundant monosaccharide. D-Glucose is a critical components of the general metabolism, and serve as critical signaling molecules in relation to both cellular metabolic status and biotic or abiotic stress response.

Exendin‑4 (Exenatide) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP‑1 receptor) agonist that resists degradation mediated by dipeptidyl peptidase IV. Exendin‑4 mediates multiple glucose-regulating effects, including stimulation of glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon production, increase in β-cell mass, delay of gastric emptying, reduction of food intake, improvement of peripheral insulin sensitivity, and restoration of normal islet structure. Exendin‑4 inhibits oxidative stress, alleviates inflammatory responses, and reduces neuronal apoptosis. Exendin‑4 reduces the aggregation level of mutant huntingtin, improves motor function, prolongs survival time, and regulates the expression levels of leptin and ghrelin. Exendin‑4 can be used in research related to type 2 diabetes, acute ischemic stroke, and Huntington's disease.

Taurine, a sulphur-containing amino acid and an organic osmolyte involved in cell volume regulation, provides a substrate for the formation of bile salts, and plays a role in the modulation of intracellular free calcium concentration. Taurine has the ability to activate autophagy in adipocytes.

Bimagrumab (Anti-ACVR2B Reference Antibody) (WT IgG1) is a human monoclonal antibody that retains a native wild-type Fc region and is capable of blocking the activin type II receptor (ActRII). Bimagrumab (WT IgG1) can be used in research concerning pathological muscle loss and weakness..

Orforglipron (LY3502970) (Compound 67) is an orally active agonist for Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), which exhibits potency in ameliorates the type 2 diabete.

Exendin (9-39) amide (Avexitide) is a competitive GLP-1R antagonist. Exendin (9-39) amide blocks the Semaglutide (HY-114118)-induced increase in insulin secretion and also attenuates the hypoglycemic effect of Semaglutide. Exendin (9-39) amide abolishes the islet-protective effect of Liraglutide. Exendin (9-39) amide can be used in research on type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes.

Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used clinically to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (4-Aminobutyric acid) is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult mammalian brain, binding to the ionotropic GABA receptors (GABA_A receptors) and metabotropic receptors (GABA_B receptors. γ-Aminobutyric acid shows calming effect by blocking specific signals of central nervous system.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol; Colecalciferol) is a naturally occuring form of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 induces cell differentiation and prevents proliferation of cancer cells.

Intralipid 20% is a safe fat emulsion, composed of soybean oil (consisting of a mixture of long-chain triglycerides (C14-24) of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids), and egg phospholipids, can be used as a nutritional supplement. Intralipid 20% effectively inhibits the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, effectively protecting the heart from ischaemia-reperfusion injury and has some potential to modulate the innate immune response.

Prostaglandin E1 (Alprostadil) is a prostanoid receptor ligand, with K_is of 1.1 nM, 2.1 nM, 10 nM, 33 nM and 36 nM for mouse EP3, EP4, EP2, IP and EP1, respectively. Prostaglandin E1 induces vasodilation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Prostaglandin E1 can be used as a vasodilator for the research of peripheral vascular diseases.

Sodium 2-oxopropanoate (Sodium pyruvate), a three-carbon metabolite of Glucose, is a compound produced in the glycolytic pathway. Sodium 2-oxopropanoate is a free radical scavenger that can scavenge ROS.

Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, competing with the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors with IC₅₀ of 20 nM.

L-Leucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), which activates the mTOR signaling pathway.

Niacin (Vitamin B3) is an orally active water-soluble B3 vitamin that is an essential nutrient for humans. Niacin (Vitamin B3) plays a key role in energy metabolism, cell signaling cascades regulating gene expression and apoptosis. Niacin (Vitamin B3) is also used in the study of cardiovascular diseases.

L-lysine is an essential amino acid for humans with orally activity. L-lysine can inhibit the occurrence of HSV infections and is used in herpes research. L-lysine increases calcium absorption, reduces diabetes-related diseases, improves gut health, and alleviates pancreatic inflammation. L-lysine can be used in research on metabolism, infection, and inflammation.

Canakinumab (ACZ885) is a recombinant human anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody. Canakinumab shows IC₅₀ values of 43.6 and 40.8 pM for human and marmoset IL-1β, respectively. The mode of action of canakinumab is based on the neutralization of IL-1β signaling, resulting in suppression of inflammation related to disorders of autoimmune origin.

Survodutide (BI 456906) is a potent, selective glucagon receptor/GLP-1 receptor (GCGR/GLP-1R) dual agonist with EC₅₀s of 0.52 nM and 0.33 nM in CHO-K1 cells, respectively. Survodutide, a 29-amino-acid peptide, is a potent acylated peptide containing a C18 fatty acid. Survodutide has robust anti-obesity efficacy achieved by increasing energy expenditure and decreasing food intake.
