Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), encoded by mitochondrial DNA, play a cytoprotective role by helping preserve mitochondrial function and cell viability under stressful conditions. Humanin and its homologs and MOTS-c are two of several MDPs hypothesized to have antiaging activity based on correlative studies. For example, humanin plasma levels are inversely correlated with growth hormone and insulin-like...
