MOTS-c: For Cellular Energy and Mitochondrial Function MOTS-c is a mitochondrially-derived peptide that supports cellular energy production, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic flexibility
Unlike exogenous growth hormone, peptides are not neuro-endocrine suppressive, conversely, they improve the function of somatotrophs (GH Producing Cells) and inhibit the expression of somatostatin (GHIH)
Cagrilintide can also reduce the expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), a marker of osteoclast activity and bone resorption (Cornish et al., 2015, Bonekey Rep.)
An example of an oral GLP-1 medication is Rybelsus (semaglutide)
As a result, GHK-Cu influences collagen synthesis, inflammation control, and antioxidant defense simultaneously
