The Salk Institute study highlights how estrogen-related receptors can enhance mitochondrial function, crucial for muscle metabolism and energy production. These receptors could serve as a therapeutic target, particularly for individuals with metabolic disorders like muscular dystrophy. Dysfunctional mitochondria, prevalent in various conditions including aging and diseases such as multiple sclerosis and heart disease, pose treatment challenges. The findings suggest that drugs aimed at increasing estrogen-related receptors might significantly improve energy metabolism and muscle performance, revolutionizing approaches to combat muscle fatigue and weakness.
Estrogen-related receptors are indispensable drivers of mitochondrial growth and activity in our muscles, making them a promising target to treat muscle weakness and fatigue.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is difficult to treat, but targeting estrogen-related receptors could be a new and effective approach to restore energy supplies.
