MOTS-c for Improving Insulin Sensitivity in Adults With Prediabetes and Overweight/Obesity

This Phase 2a study evaluates whether 12 weeks of treatment with investigational MOTS-c improves insulin sensitivity compared with placebo in adults with prediabetes and overweight/obesity. Participants are randomized 1:1 to MOTS-c or placebo, receive standardized lifestyle counseling, and are followed for safety through Week 16.

Outcomes: Change from baseline in OGTT-derived insulin sensitivity (Matsuda Index) · Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) · Change from baseline in HbA1c. · Change from baseline in fasting glucose · Change from baseline in 2-hour plasma glucose during 75 g OGTT. · Immunogenicity (anti-drug antibodies, if applicable).

PHASE2

NCT04027712 · UNKNOWN

Platelet Reactivity, B-amyloid, MOTS-c and Mortality of Type II Diabetics With CAD

Increased circulating b-amyloid and decreased Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c), a peptide improving tissue insulin sensitivity, are reported in diabetes. The investigators plan to investigate the association of both biofactors with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity and cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetic patients with Coronary artery disease

Outcomes: mots-c predicts cardiovascular mortality in diabetic with coronary artery disease · b amyloid predicts cardiovascular mortality in diabetic with coronary artery disease · b amyloid predicts cardiovascular mortality in diabetic with coronary artery

Comparison of the Effects of General Anesthesia and Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia on Ferroptosis, Humanin and MOTS-c Levels in Renal Transplantation

Renal transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. Ischemia-reperfusion injury may adversely affect graft function and long-term outcomes. Ferroptosis has recently emerged as a potential mechanism involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury, while the mitochondrial-derived peptides humanin and MOTS-c are thought to exert protective effects against oxidative stress. However, the effects of different anesthetic techniques on these biomarkers in kidney transplant recipients have not been investigated. This prospective controlled study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane general anesthesia (SGA) and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) on serum ferroptosis markers, humanin, and MOTS-c levels in adult kidney transplant recipients. Blood samples will be obtained perioperatively for biomarker analysis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of the anesthetic technique on serum ferroptosis markers, humanin, and MOTS-c levels. Secondary objectives include evaluating early graft function and postoperative outcomes by assessing the incidence of delayed graft function, postoperative serum creatinine levels, requirement for dialysis, urine output, length of hospital stay, and the association of these outcomes with perioperative biomarker levels.

Outcomes: Serum ferroptosis-related biomarkers (Fe, TFRC1, GPX4, MDA, ACSL4) and mitochondrial-derived peptides (humanin and MOTS-c) · Delayed Graft Function (DGF) · Postoperative Serum Creatinine Levels · Requirement for Postoperative Dialysis · Urine Output · Length of Hospital Stay · Association Between Biomarkers and Clinical Outcomes
