Research

Metabolic Regulation

MOTS-c has been shown to activate pathways involved in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Research suggests it may influence AMPK signaling, which helps regulate energy balance at the cellular level [1].

Exercise Adaptation

Studies indicate that MOTS-c expression increases during physical activity. Researchers are exploring its role in endurance, muscle recovery, and mitochondrial efficiency [2].

Aging & Longevity

Investigations link MOTS-c to protective effects against age-related decline in metabolic function. Its potential involvement in promoting cellular resilience has made it a focus in longevity research [3].

Immune & Stress Response

MOTS-c has demonstrated roles in modulating inflammatory responses and improving cell survival under oxidative stress conditions [4].
