In addition to valsartan, candesartan and irbesartan have also been found to have similar effects, suggesting that such drugs may have a similar steric structure to bind BCKDK to promote its separation from BCKDH

Activates AMPK (The Metabolic Master Switch) MOTS-C activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) often called the metabolic master switch. AMPK activation: Increases glucose uptake into cells (improving insulin sensitivity) Enhances fat oxidation (fat burning) Increases mitochondrial biogenesis (creating new, healthy mitochondria) Reduces inflammation Promotes autophagy (cellular cleanup and renewal) This is the same pathway activated by exercise and calorie restriction two of the most powerful interventions for metabolic health and longevity
