Categories describe areas of research and proposed benefits. A result in cells or animals is a starting point for exploration; it does not establish the same effect in people.
Community perspectives capture ideas and experiences from the wider conversation. Their claims remain attributed to their authors. Open any source to explore its methods, context, and conclusions.
3 sources for “mots-c”
Research paperMOTS-C treatment improved running performance in young and older mice. In a separate human experiment, exercise increased naturally produced MOTS-C in muscle and blood.
The human component measured an exercise response, not the effects of administering MOTS-C.
MOTS-c is an exercise-induced mitochondrial-encoded regulator of age-dependent physical decline and muscle homeostasis
Joseph C. Reynolds et al. · Nature Communications, 2021
Community perspectiveReason places MOTS-C within the search for treatments that reproduce useful exercise signals, linking mitochondrial communication and metabolic regulation to a cited research review.
A short editorial built around a review excerpt; exercise-induced MOTS-C in people is separate from administering the peptide.
A Discussion of Mitochondrially Derived Peptide MOTS-c
Reason · Fight Aging!, 2023
Research paperThis discovery paper identifies MOTS-C as a mitochondrial peptide that influences muscle metabolism. Treatment protected mice against diet-related obesity and age-related insulin resistance.
The treatment findings come from mice and cells; they are not human weight-loss results.
The mitochondrial-derived peptide MOTS-c promotes metabolic homeostasis and reduces obesity and insulin resistance
