STUDIED EXPOSURE MAP / 2021

MOTS-C
tested in research.

The actual doses, concentrations or exposure levels reported by the source — kept attached to route, population, timeframe and evidence type.

TRANSLATIONAL / HUMAN SAMPLING + MOUSE DOSINGNATURE COMMUNICATIONSSTUDIED EXPOSURE ≠ RECOMMENDED DOSE
STUDIED EXPOSURE / SOURCE DATANumbers below describe this research source only.
5 mg/kg/day

IP · mouse model

15 mg/kg/day

IP · mouse model

Context: Humans in this paper were not given exogenous MOTS-c. Human participants were sampled around exercise; the displayed administered doses are from mice.
NOT A DOSING GUIDEENHANCED is reporting what researchers administered or tested. It does not convert these numbers into a personal dose, reconstitution plan, cycle, titration schedule or recommendation.
SOURCE / NATURE COMMUNICATIONS

MOTS-c is an exercise-induced mitochondrial-encoded regulator of age-dependent physical decline and muscle homeostasis

Study design and tested exposure are separated from recommendation. Route and population stay visible so the numbers cannot be read without context.

2021
01 / DESIGNTranslational study with mouse intervention experiments and human exercise sampling
02 / POPULATION / MODELMouse models; human arm measured endogenous MOTS-c around exercise
03 / ROUTEIntraperitoneal in mouse intervention experiments
04 / TIMEFRAMEDaily mouse exposure in selected experiments
05 / PRIMARY QUESTIONPhysical-performance biology and endogenous exercise response

It supports a factual statement about the exposure tested in this research source. It does not establish that the same exposure is appropriate, effective or safe outside that source.



Mitochondrial-derived peptide research

Study exposure ≠ personal protocol. Animal doses are never converted to human-equivalent amounts here. IV, topical, oral, intranasal and subcutaneous exposures are not treated as interchangeable.
