mitochondrial biogenesis

1. Eriocitrin (Eriodictyol-7-O-Rutinoside) is powerful antioxidative flavonoid; (1) Prevents oxidative damages caused by acute exercise-induced oxidative stress.(2) Lipid-lowering effects in a rat model of high-fat diet. 2. Dietary Eriocitrin ameliorates diet-induced hepatic steatosis with activation of mitochondrial biogenesis. 3. Eriocitrin and Apigenin were identified as new potent inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase VA isozyme.

Afzelin (Kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside) exhibits several cellular activities such as DNA-protective, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and UV-absorbing properties, potentially protecting human skin from UVB-induced damage through a combination of UV-absorbing and cellular actions. Afzelin mitigates mitochondrial damage, promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, and reduces levels of mitophagy-related proteins, parkin and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1.

Procyanidin B7, isolated from Solix sieboldiana, has been shown to mitigate mitochondrial defects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes induced by Dexamethasone. It enhances mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, transmembrane potential, and antioxidant defense to achieve this improvement.
