Precisely how exercise regulates the network of ROS, AMPK, and mitochondrial dynamics responses and their effects on mitochondrial dynamics is not fully understood.
The review focuses on the interdependence between ROS/redox homeostasis, AMPK-mediated bioenergetic sensing, and regulation of mitochondrial fission and fusion during exercise adaptation.
Exercise is a robust stimulus for mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscle and plays a central role in enhancing metabolic health.
Improved understanding of exercise-linked mitochondrial dynamics processes may enable mitochondria-targeted therapeutic strategies that augment or mimic exercise to attenuate or reverse pathophysiology.
