Molecular interface between bioenergetics, signaling pathways, and chondrocytes metabolism. Regulation of chondrocytes metabolism by (A) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide metabolism pathway, (B) Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways, (C) Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) pathway, (D) The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway and (E) Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)/ Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/ Protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway.
