Humanin

Also known as: HN

Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. It was discovered through its ability to protect neurons from Alzheimer's disease-related toxicity and is studied for neuroprotection, metabolic regulation, and anti-aging applications.

Mitochondrial-derived peptide Humanin protects granulosa cells under oxidative conditions

Granulosa cell function is essential for proper ovarian physiology. Redox imbalance compromises granulosa cell survival, thereby impacting follicle fate within the ovary. Humanin (HN), a small mitochondrial-derived peptide, exerts cytoprotective effects in several tissues under pro-oxidant conditions.

Circulating Humanin Improves the Prognostic Accuracy of Cardiovascular Risk Models in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Introduction Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (CVMM) remain highly prevalent among end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). Nevertheless, risk prediction in this setting is limited by the complexity of factors involved and the individual patients' characteristics.
