The wire
- 01The reported work describes an exercise-induced muscle-derived peptide reducing fatty liver in mice, with ACE2 identified as the mediating pathway.
- 02Exercise-mimetic peptides are an area readers watch for metabolic indications, and a defined receptor pathway gives a target for any future therapeutic candidate.
- 03Findings are in mice only; no human dosing, safety or efficacy data are reported and translation to clinical use is unestablished.
