Exercise sends a message from your mitochondria.
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded inside mitochondrial DNA. Exercise increased the body's own MOTS-c in skeletal muscle and blood. Rebody is planning a 10 mg injection option.

A mitochondrial signal
A mitochondrial peptide switched on by exercise.
The body makes MOTS-c in response to metabolic stress. Researchers are studying how that signal reaches skeletal muscle, AMPK, glucose transport, and physical capacity.

Planned injection
Planned 10 mg injection vial.
If Rebody offers MOTS-c, it will be filled by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Exact substance, concentration, directions, storage, and beyond-use date will be published before ordering opens.

Written into mitochondrial DNA
16 aaA signal made inside the cell's power source.
MOTS-c comes from a short open reading frame within mitochondrial 12S rRNA. It has been detected in human skeletal muscle and blood.

Muscle and serum rose after one cycling session.
Researchers measured endogenous MOTS-c in 10 young men before and after stationary-bike exercise. The peptide increased in skeletal muscle and serum. This was a study of the body's own MOTS-c, not a treatment trial.
Human treatment research
A 120-person randomized trial is recruiting.
A planned 120-person Phase 2a trial will compare subcutaneous MOTS-c with placebo for 12 weeks in adults with prediabetes and overweight or obesity. No treatment results are posted.
