MOTS-c treatment reduced collagen buildup in the muscles of immobilized mice, which may help prevent stiffness.
Mice given MOTS-c had higher levels of the peptide in their blood compared to those without treatment.
Quantitative
MOTS-c didn't affect the triglyceride levels in the muscles of immobilized mice, even though it reduced fatty acids.
Mice with higher levels of MOTS-c in their muscles tended to have more muscle mass after immobilization.
Correlational
MOTS-c changed the activity of genes involved in fat metabolism in the muscles of immobilized mice.
Mice given MOTS-c had more ANGPTL4 protein in their muscles and less fatty acids, which may help prevent muscle damage from fat buildup.
MOTS-c treatment lowered levels of myostatin, a protein that normally limits muscle growth, in immobilized mice.
MOTS-c helped restore normal activity levels of key muscle proteins (AKT and FOXOs) that are disrupted during immobilization.
Mice with immobilized legs that received MOTS-c had lower levels of key inflammation markers in their blood compared to untreated mice.
When mice had their legs immobilized for 8 days, giving them MOTS-c daily helped their muscles lose less weight—only 5% compared to 15% without treatment.
