Intervention and comparator
What each group received. Related peptides, analogs and combinations are never treated as the compound itself.
What the authors reported
As stated in the sources. This is the authors’ account, not Peptide Library’s assessment.
Adverse events
None reported. That is not evidence of safety.
Monitoring: Not applicable. No MOTS-c was administered to participants.
The authors concluded (paraphrased): Higher circulating MOTS-c is associated with increased acute coronary syndrome risk. The imbalance between oxidative stress and circulating MOTS-c may help predict major adverse cardiac events after acute myocardial infarction.
Peptide Library’s assessment
An automated assessment, made by AI separately from the authors’ conclusions and not reviewed by a person. How risk of bias is assessed.
Limitations
- other: Endogenous serum MOTS-c was measured as a biomarker; the compound was never administered to participants.
- abstract only: Only the abstract is available, and part of its results text appears truncated (the 'P P =0.003' fragment).
- confounding: Observational case-control comparison of biomarker levels with no reported adjustment for confounders in the abstract.
- inappropriate population: Participants had acute coronary syndrome or were controls, and endogenous MOTS-c was measured with no administration, so the study cannot show effects or safety of giving the compound.
No risk-of-bias assessment has been published for this study’s results.
Claims this study informs
- Improves metabolic health: not eligible (not primary study) for “Insulin sensitivity, glucose control or body weight”
- Is safe for human administration: not eligible (not primary study) for “Adverse events, serious adverse events and discontinuations”

These assessments describe published research. Records marked automated were produced by AI under the published methodology and have not been reviewed by a person; they can contain errors. None of this is medical advice, not a statement about any product’s safety for human use, and not a regulatory approval. Peptide Library’s vendor and partner relationships play no part in them (editorial independence).
