What is humanin?

Humanin is a mitochondrial derived peptide with a genuine human observational record: it declines with age, runs higher in children of centenarians, tracks with cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and rises in the muscle of people with a specific mitochondrial disease. This site's review found 9 citations, 5 of them human. No study has given it to people as an administered drug.
