Metabolism

MOTS-c

The short explanation

Two stories are often confused: the body makes MOTS-c during exercise, and researchers administer MOTS-c to animals.

What is being researched?

Do the animal findings also occur when MOTS-c is administered to people?

What does this mean for you?

The linked study did not administer MOTS-c to its human participants. Its performance-treatment results concern mice.

What we cannot be sure of

It does not establish effectiveness or safety of human administration. Overall mouse survival was not statistically conclusive; it does not validate analogues such as CB4211 either.
