  Association between MOTS-c Levels and Sarcopenia Risk in Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
  Author(s): Dnako Junashi*
  
  MOTS-c, a mitochondrial-derived peptide, has garnered significant attention for its role in metabolic regulation, cellular homeostasis, and muscle maintenance. In chronic peritoneal dialysis patients, the risk of sarcopenia is particularly high due to multiple contributing factors, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, malnutrition, and prolonged exposure to uraemic toxins. Sarcopenia, characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and function, significantly affects morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Understanding the association between MOTS-c levels and sarcopenia risk could provide valuable insights into potential therapeutic interventions and early diagnostic markers... Read More»
