Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of peptide analogues as inhibitors of their respective naturally occurring peptides. The structure of the peptide hormone analogues is exemplified by human humoral hypercalcemic factor (hHCF), wherein Lys.sup.13 is modified so as to produce HCF analogues which can inhibit the action of HCF.
