Narrative review highlights the role of hormones in fat metabolism and fetal development in mammals, suggesting important implications for zootechnical species.
Background and Objective: Peptide and lipid hormones play a fundamental role in fat metabolism and fetal growth in mammalian animals.Methods: A narrative and opinion-based literature review was conducted, referencing the most recent publications (from the last 5 years), between January and April 2026. This involved planning and searching for verified scientific information published in indexed journals using search engines such as SciELO, Web of Science, Scopus, and Dialnet.Results: Hormones composed of amino acids and fatty acids exert a pleiotrophic effect on the target organs (muscle and adipose tissue) of mammalian animals, being essential for the metabolism of myocytes and adipocytes.Conclusions: Hormones are essential chemical substances for anabolic and catabolic regulation at the tissue level in animals and humans.
