Humanin
Humanin is an endogenous mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) identified for its broad cytoprotective and neuroprotective properties. Research associates Humanin with improved cellular resilience to oxidative stress and proteotoxic insults, support for metabolic health, and potential links to healthier aging trajectories. Exploratory evidence suggests roles in neurodegeneration models (e.g., Alzheimer’s), glucose regulation, and exercise-related adaptations. Mechanism of…
