Solution

  1. Peptides (-OC-NH-) are chains of Amino acids bonded together by the chemical bonds present between their Carboxyl groups and Amino groups, constituting the primary binding mechanism of all protein structures.
  2. These are mostly present in the protein sources such as eggs, meat, milk, and protein powder.
  3. The major side of Peptides are as follows :
  • Several sites including the brain stem, are affected, which can cause heart and lung function to slow down.
  • On the first injection, a headache may occur; however, this usually subsides after repeated injections.
  • A temporary upset stomach or nausea may also occur following administration.
  • There is also the possibility of feeling of fatigue or lethargy, as growth hormone may increase the desire for sleep as well as its quality and restorative abilities.
  • It causes muscle contraction, especially joint pain and kidney pain.
  • There is an increase in hunger.
  • The fertility rate decreases.
