What this study reported

Reviewed humanin and its reported role in cardioprotection after myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, naming MOTS-c only as another member of the mitochondria-derived peptide family. No MOTS-c-specific data are summarised.

Limitations

Minireview focused on humanin with MOTS-c mentioned only in passing, so it contributes no MOTS-c-specific evidence.
