Pyroglutamyl-histidyl-glycine (pEHG) is an endogenous tripeptide that acts as a tissue-specific antimitotic and selectively inhibits the proliferation of colon epithelial cells.^[1] Early research indicated that pEHG had anorectic effects in mice and was possibly involved in the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa.^[2] However, subsequent studies have found that pEHG lacks anorectic effects and does not alter food intake in mice.^[3]^[4]
