MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA Type-C) is a naturally occurring peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. It plays a key role in cellular metabolism, energy regulation, and metabolic health.
Key Features:
- Metabolic regulation: Influences glucose and fat metabolism, potentially improving insulin sensitivity and energy utilization.
- Mitochondrial support: Enhances mitochondrial function, promoting efficient energy production.
- Anti-aging and wellness effects: Early research suggests it may support healthy metabolism, body composition, and overall cellular resilience.
- Exercise and endurance: Studied for its potential to improve muscle function, endurance, and recovery.
Areas of Interest (research/clinical settings):
- Metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance.
- Muscle function, endurance, and recovery.
- Age-related metabolic decline.
