What are the most common peptides found in the human body and what roles do they play in various biological processes?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play important roles in the human body. Some of the most common peptides found in the body include insulin, oxytocin, and glucagon. These peptides are involved in regulating processes such as metabolism, hormone production, and muscle growth. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels, oxytocin is involved in social bonding and childbirth, and glucagon helps regulate blood sugar levels during fasting. Overall, peptides play crucial roles in various biological processes in the human body.
