Figure 1. The role of mitochondria-derived metabolites, ‘mitobolites’, in modulating metabolism, growth and longevity.

Figure 1

Interventions that modulate mitochondrial functions regulate the flux of mitobolites. Mitobolites (red dots) potentially regulate mitochondrial proteins, including mitochondrial ATPase (black structures), and once released from mitochondria, these mitobolites may also regulate cellular signaling pathways. This in turn modulates various physiological processes like metabolism, growth and longevity.
