Results from this study3

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured3

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In adults with stable coronary artery disease, the body's own MOTS‑c levels were lower than in adults with normal coronary arteries.

    Summary
    We observed that the MOTS-c levels was lower in the CAD group (111±13 vs. 161±23, p<0.001).

    Ninety-two consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD+) and ninety-two consecutive patients with normal coronary artery (CAD-) were included.

    This result measures the body's own MOTS-c. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In adults undergoing coronary assessment, the body's own MOTS‑c level was a significant independent predictor of coronary artery disease in multiple regression analysis.

    In plain wordsIn adults with and without coronary artery disease, natural MOTS‑c levels helped predict who had the disease.
