Does MOTS-c help with weight loss?

This site's review found 13 citations for MOTS-c, 8 of them human, covering more than 27,000 participants, but that evidence is observational: genetic variant studies, circulating level measurements across age and metabolic disease, and an exercise response. No trial has yet tested giving MOTS-c to a person and measuring weight change as the outcome; that is exactly what its first controlled Phase 2a trial, now recruiting, is designed to find out.
