MOTS-c and the Retinal Microenvironment: Metabolic Coordination of Cellular Response under HEV Stress

Abstract

A systematic literature review exploring the mitochondrial-derived peptide MOTS-c, its cellular uptake, and reported pathways modulating metabolic homeostasis, AMPK activation, and cell survival under high-energy visible (HEV) photo-oxidative stress. Surveyed purely as reference literature; no clinical outcomes are claimed.

Methods

  1. 01Scope : MOTS-c mitochondrial bioenergetics
  2. 02Sources : primary published cellular and animal research (2015-2026)
  3. 03Mechanisms : AMPK phosphorylation, GLUT4 activation, ROS suppression
  4. 04Framing : neutral literature synthesis without meta-analysis

DISCLOSURE : This report presents anonymized in-silico and/or observational reference data. It does not establish a causal relationship between any catalogued material and any physiological outcome, and it is not a claim of safety, efficacy, or benefit.
