KLOW references
The full citation list for all findings cited across this site. References are numbered to match inline [N] markers throughout the digest. Each entry includes DOI and/or PubMed URL for independent verification.
All citations are component-level — attributed to the specific peptide studied. No blend-level study is cited because none exists.
