- Mots-c
- Metabolic Regulation, Longevity, Exercise Capacity
- Activates AMPK, enhances glucose uptake, promotes mitochondrial biogenesis
- Direct modulator of metabolic flexibility and anti-aging pathways. Core to MOTS-c aging metabolism.
- SS-31 (elamipretide)
- Mitochondrial Function, Oxidative Stress, Cardiac Health
- Targets inner mitochondrial membrane, protects against oxidative damage
- Complements MOTS-c by directly enhancing mitochondrial integrity and reducing stress, thereby improving metabolic efficiency.
- NAD+
- Cellular Repair, Energy Production, Sirtuin Activation
- Coenzyme involved in redox reactions, crucial for ATP production and DNA repair
- Supports overall cellular energy and repair, which is critical for healthy aging metabolism. Often explored in conjunction with MOTS-c.
- 5 Amino 1mq
- Fat Metabolism, Weight Management, Metabolic Health
- Inhibits NNMT enzyme, promoting cellular energy expenditure
- Offers a distinct pathway to metabolic optimization, potentially synergistic with MOTS-c's glucose-centric effects on aging metabolism.
- This table isn't exhaustive, of course. The field is constantly evolving. But it provides a snapshot of how diverse peptides contribute to the overarching goal of optimizing cellular function and combating the effects of aging. Truly fascinating work.
