HGH and MOTS-c Interaction

Synergistic
Mechanism-based 51% confidence

HGH and MOTS-c have a synergistic interaction with 51% confidence. HGH helps counteract the insulin-disrupting effects of MOTS-c. A smart combination — the insulin sensitizer mitigates metabolic side effects. These compounds primarily affect different organ systems.

Compound Profiles

HGH

Human Growth Hormone | Somatropin

Binds to GH receptors on target tissues, triggering JAK2-STAT5 signaling pathway. Direct effects include lipolysis, protein synthesis, and metabolic regulation.

Half-life: 3-4 hours (SC), 20-30 minutes (IV) Typical dose: 1-4 IU daily (0.33-1.33mg); start low and titrate up growth hormone, weight loss, healing

MOTS-c

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide | Metabolic Regulator

Inhibits the folate cycle leading to AMPK activation. Under metabolic stress, translocates to nucleus to bind stress-response transcription factors, regulating genes involved in metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cellular adaptation.

Half-life: ~30 minutes Typical dose: Start 5mg daily, increase to 10-15mg based on goals longevity, metabolic
