Evidence at a glance

Each record keeps its own evidence class. Counts are records in this public edition, not a quality score.

Evidence gap: Route-specific human PK and absolute bioavailability are not established in the imported material.

Mouse performance and metabolic research

Mouse studies used daily and later intermittent dosing; they did not prove weekly dosing superior.

Context: Exogenous native peptide in mice; human exercise measurements concern endogenous peptide.

Limitations: Animal mg/kg schedules are not human dose conversions. CB4211 is a modified analog, not native MOTS-c.

Route: Not documented · Human injected-native-peptide PK and terminal half-life remain unestablished in the review.

Preclinical

Experimental NASH: MOTS-c and BCL-2 signaling

An experimental study reports MOTS-c interaction with BCL-2 and changes in NASH-associated liver injury, inflammatory and fibrosis markers.

Context: Nonclinical NASH disease models and mechanistic experiments; study does not establish therapeutic efficacy of administered MOTS-c in humans.

Limitations: Do not translate experimental outcomes, dosing or mechanistic AMPK associations into a clinical MASLD protocol.

Jones short higher-frequency initiation

Distinct protocol, timing or sequence preserved from the saved research material. Unreported fields remain unknown.

Context: Attributed research context; population or formulation not fully specified.

Attributed proposal / anecdote: Frequency: Brief higher-frequency “priming,” then return to one or two injections weekly; Duration: Short initiation phase; exact length not supplied; Route: Not documented

Limitations: The source does not define a priming amount or a fixed initiation frequency. Do not turn the warning about indefinite three-times-weekly use into a validated loading schedule.

MOTS-c nominated in silico as a candidate Ms4a6c modulator in radiation proctitis (2026)

A 2026 computational study linked Ms4a6c+ macrophages to fibrosis in mouse radiation proctitis and, by virtual screening and molecular dynamics, nominated MOTS-c as the top candidate ligand for Ms4a6c. MOTS-c was not tested experimentally.

Context: Mouse transcriptomics and in silico screening only.

Limitations: Computational prediction only; docking score moderate-to-weak; no MOTS-c was administered.

Route: Not applicable
