The peptide promotes angiogenesis, forming new blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to injured areas, accelerating healing
FIGURE 1 To find out a specific mechanism, a comparison with the becaplermin (recombinant human plateletderived growth factor homodimer of B chains, PDGF-BB) was the focus of the two additional studies using excisional wounds in diabetic rats and mice (Figure 2) (Seveljevic-Jaran et al., 2006
Research published in Cell Metabolism demonstrated that MOTS-c administration in mice improved insulin sensitivity by 28% and increased running capacity by nearly 50%, effects attributed to enhanced mitochondrial function and glucose regulation
