Research advances in relationship between mitochondrial dynamics and cellular energy metabolism and exercise intervention / 生理学报

ABSTRACT

Mitochondrial dynamics, involving mitochondrial fusion, fission and autophagy, plays an important role in maintaining cellular physiological function and homeostasis. Mitochondria are the "energy plant" of human body, so the changes of mitochondrial fusion, division and autophagy are important for cell respiration and energy production. On the other hand, energy metabolism influences mitochondrial dynamics in turn. This paper reviewed the recent advances in studies on the relationship between energy metabolism and the proteins regulating mitochondrial fusion, fission and autophagy. The association of mitochondrial dynamics with electron chain complex expression, oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis upon exercise intervention will provide theoretical references for the further studies in sports training and disease intervention.
