MOTS-c is a homeostatic regulator \u2014 it works hard to restore the body to its natural, optimal balance, especially when that balance is lost because of a bad diet, too much exercise, or sleep deprivation. It does that in three different ways.<\/p>\n
MOTS-c activates AMPK, an enzymatic \u201ccellular energy booster,\u201d to get more glucose into the muscles, improve fatty acid oxidation (AKA help burn fat), and pause processes that take energy (like storing fat!). It induces the same metabolic effects seen during exercise \u2014 but without necessarily needing to exercise. It also increases AMPK in a different way, unique to this peptide. MOTS-c regulates the folate cycle.<\/p>\n
MOTS-c can do something most peptides don\u2019t. It can go directly into the nucleus of cells. Once there, MOTS-c tweaks gene expression \u2014 specifically, the genes needed to defend against antioxidants and create better metabolic balance.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s how<\/em> MOTS-c does what it does, but what does that all that mean for research? That part is exciting, too, so let\u2019s go there next.<\/p>\n MOTS-c research is undeniably still in its early phase \u2014 inevitable when you consider that the peptide was only discovered recently in the grand scheme of things. Despite that, researchers are obsessed (did we mention MOTS-c was basically responsible for creating a whole new field of biology?). The studies are coming in fast. Yes, they\u2019re all fascinating.<\/p>\n Current research may just be scratching the surface, but the most well-studied areas are related to longevity, metabolism, and cell health (with findings that might surprise you).<\/p>\n Natural MOTS-c levels are at their highest during youth. As with so many peptides, it\u2019s all downhill from there \u2014 and that itself may have a lot to do with the visible and less visible signs of aging that research is always trying to slow down and even reverse.<\/p>\n So far, research demonstrates that MOTS-c has the potential to restore lost balance, with positive effects on age-related diseases that include diabetes, osteoporosis, menopause-related weight gain, and muscle loss. [1<\/a>] More than that, MOTS-c keeps energy levels up (down to the cellular level!). It\u2019s been investigated for its ability to improve muscle mass and strength in aging populations, too [2<\/a>] \u2014 research that continues, so pay attention to new findings.<\/p>\n Does the same mechanism that improves muscle mass and strength in elderly subjects also benefit younger ones? In other words, does MOTS-c have a use case as a peptide for athletic performance and endurance? Animal studies show that the answer is \u201cyes,\u201d because MOTS-c improved fitness in mice of all ages. [3<\/a>]\n It appears to reduce muscle loss by improving glucose uptake [4<\/a>] \u2014 and while exercising naturally boosts MOTS-c, supplementation has the same effect without movement. Researchers in sports medicine should listen up, but MOTS-c is even more valuable for people who cannot exercise, for example because they\u2019re recovering from surgery or have physical disabilities.<\/p>\n Since the discovery of 2015, researchers have found that obese children have lower than average MOTS-c levels \u2014 and that this fact might contribute to the high rates of obesity-related diseases. [5<\/a>] Studies have continued from there, and time and time again, they come to the same conclusion. Because MOTS-c promotes homeostasis (that is, essentially, healthy and balanced functioning), it can also improve insulin sensitivity and fight obesity. Interestingly, research has shown models to have good insulin sensitivity even on high-fat diets. [6<\/a>]\n New research hints at unexpected and surprisingly positive use cases for MOTS-c. Of these, its potential to prevent osteoporosis by recruiting osteoblasts, cells that make new bone cells, is among the most exciting. MOTS-c successfully stopped bone loss in high-risk subjects in the studies carried out to date. [7<\/a>, 8<\/a>] When you keep in mind that menopause \u2014 which, of course, catches up with all women at some point in their lives \u2014 is one of the biggest risk factors for osteoporosis, it\u2019s immediately clear that these findings might change female aging forever.<\/p>\n In the short time since it\u2019s been discovered, MOTS-c has made waves. With implications for managing metabolic disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, athletic performance, bone health, illness recovery, heart health, and more. The mitochondrial genome was understudied for a long time. Not anymore. New applications for MOTS-c are still being researched, but the core potential \u2014 that boosting MOTS-c means better health across the board, for longer \u2014 is itself fertile ground for endless study.<\/p>\n A peptide that nobody knew existed until 2015, but that sends messages from the mitochondria to the rest of the cell and further beyond \u2014 to restore energy, bring the metabolism back into balance, and regulate stress \u2014 should grab the attention of anyone interested in peptide research.<\/p>\n General wellness applications include healthy weight maintenance and athletic performance, but they also include bone loss prevention, younger cells, and more energy. More specific areas of study look at reversing insulin resistance, protecting cognitive and heart health in the face of oxidative stress.<\/p>\n MOTS-c has been promising in:<\/p>\n Research directions are endless. What\u2019s yours?<\/p>\n CelllPeptides provides pharmaceutical-grade peptides for research, but it\u2019s up to investigators to design appropriate protocols for their study. The existing body of research has led to examples of dosing protocols. Most studies start with doses of between 0.1 and 0.5 mg<\/strong>, which allows researchers to observe how the model responds. Past that initial phase, doses of 1 to 3 mg are common \u2014 daily for short-term research projects and three to four times per week for long-term studies.<\/p>\n Reconstitution is completed by adding 1 mL of bacteriostatic water (available from CellPeptides, too) to a 10 mg vial of MOTS-c. As always, swirl to dissolve and be careful not to shake it. After it\u2019s reconstituted, keep MOTS-c stored between 2 and 8\u00b0C and use the peptide in the next 30-60 days.<\/p>\n Follow lab protocols to the letter. You know the drill \u2014 alcohol wipes, gloves, sterile syringes, lab coats, and logs.<\/p>\n If you need visual guidance on how much peptide to draw once it’s reconstituted — you can use our comprehensive peptide calculator here<\/a>.<\/p>\n What does the MOTS-c peptide do?<\/strong><\/p>\n MOTS-c helps to restore balance to the cells. Research is still very much in full swing, but studies so far show better insulin sensitivity and endurance, along with more efficient fat loss.<\/p>\n Does MOTS-c help with weight loss?<\/strong><\/p>\n Early research has positive results \u2014 and it demonstrates proof of concept. MOTS-c stops the body from hoarding fat and switches on fat loss mode, but in animal models. Human trials are coming next.<\/p>\n Can MOTS-c build muscle?<\/strong><\/p>\n Not directly, but MOTS-c does help prevent muscle atrophy and improve endurance.<\/p>\n Is MOTS-c a peptide?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yep, MOTS-c is a peptide \u2014 it\u2019s a chain of 16 amino acids. It\u2019s radically different from other peptides, though, and behaves more like a hormone because it goes into the cell nucleus to tweak genetic expression.<\/p>\n What are the side effects of MOTS-c?<\/strong><\/p>\n Very few documented. Some redness is always possible, and very high doses might cause flushing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n DISCLAIMER:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Our peptides can be used solely for in vitro experiments and cannot be:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oubliez ce que vous savez sur le fait que la mitochondrie n'est que la centrale \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique de la cellule.<\/p>\n MOTS-c<\/strong> \u2014 d\u00e9couvert tr\u00e8s r\u00e9cemment, en 2015 \u2014 est une r\u00e9volution de 16 acides amin\u00e9s fabriqu\u00e9e au sein des mitochondries qui intervient pour r\u00e9guler le m\u00e9tabolisme en p\u00e9riode de stress.
