PGC-1α Modulator

Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 is a PGC-1α modulator that modulates the activity of the human PGC-1α promoter (114%). Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 increases PGC-1α mRNA (125%) and accumulation of intracellular lipids (128%) in subcutaneous human adipocytes. Ac-SVVVRT-NH2 can be used in the research of diseases which is modulated by PGC-1α.

MitoPBN is a AMPK/SIRT3/PGC-1α axis modulator, reactive oxygen species scavenger and mitochondrial function enhancer. MitoPBN increases the phosphorylation level of AMPK, restores SIRT3 expression and reverses the down-regulation of PGC-1α, thereby promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. MitoPBN regulates glucose metabolism, reduces blood glucose by inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis and increasing hepatic glucose uptake, while scavenging mitochondrial superoxide anion/hydrogen peroxide, maintaining membrane potential and increasing ATP production. MitoPBN also reduces cell apoptosis, improves sperm motility, survival rate and membrane integrity, but may induce reductive stress in cryopreserved sperm at high concentrations. MitoPBN is widely applicable to research related to diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
