Description
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that has gained significant attention in scientific research for its role in regulating metabolism, energy balance, and cellular health. Discovered as part of mitochondrial-encoded peptides, MOTS-c acts as a signaling molecule that influences the way the body responds to stress, nutrients, and exercise.
In studies, MOTS-c has been shown to activate the AMPK pathway, a critical regulator of energy homeostasis. By doing so, it may help improve glucose metabolism, support weight management, and enhance insulin sensitivity. Researchers are also investigating its potential benefits in exercise performance, muscle health, and age-related metabolic decline.
Because MOTS-c originates from mitochondrial DNA, it represents a unique class of peptides that directly connect mitochondrial function with systemic metabolic health. This makes it an exciting subject for ongoing studies into longevity, anti-aging, and chronic disease prevention.
