MOTS-c: The Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide Mimicking Exercise and Metabolic Health
Metabolic flexibility—the ability to efficiently switch between burning carbohydrates and fats—declines as we age, leading to insulin resistance, visceral fat gain, and inflammation. MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that acts as an endocrine metabolic signal across the entire body. ### Cellular Mechanism: Activating AMPK Under cellular stress … Read more
