WHAT IS MOTS-c?
MOTS-c
is known to regulate metabolic functions throughout the body, including turning glucose into usable energy.
MOTS-c
is a relatively new peptide of 16 amino acids that promote metabolic balance. It regulates metabolic functions throughout the body. For instance, it turns glucose into usable energy.
The DNA in the cell nucleus encodes most peptides. But, the mitochondria's DNA encodes MOTS-c making it unique among peptides.
Research by the University of Southern California found this peptide may help fight weight gain and normalize metabolism - similar to effects mostly linked with exercise.
In mouse studies, the peptide aided glucose metabolism, even when the mice ate a high-fat diet.
These initial studies could indicate improved blood sugar control for those with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
