Background and Purpose of MOTS-C

MOTS-C is a small peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, discovered in 2015. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, which helps maintain energy balance. Additionally, MOTS-C enhances mitochondrial function and protects cells under stress, contributing to better cellular health. It may also promote longevity by supporting mitochondrial health, which tends to decline with age. Moreover, MOTS-C has the potential to improve endurance and energy efficiency, making it of interest in physical performance research. Its potential therapeutic applications are being explored for metabolic and age-related diseases.
