Myonectin
Myonectin (CTRP15)
A muscle-derived hormone that reduces circulating free fatty acids by promoting their uptake into liver and adipose tissue. Improves metabolic health.
Mechanism of Action
Myonectin binds to receptors in liver and adipose tissue, stimulating fatty acid uptake and oxidation. It reduces circulating free fatty acids and improves lipid metabolism.
