Abstract

Various pharmacological agents activate mitochondrial biogenesis through different pathways.

  • Agents such as resveratrol, curcumin, and metformin are associated with enhanced mitochondrial function.
  • SIRT1 activators and AMPK agonists may improve mitochondrial health.
  • Advancements in mitochondria-targeted drug delivery systems could enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
  • Challenges in clinical translation arise from the complexity of mitochondrial regulation.
  • Preclinical studies suggest potential for treating metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.
