Just finished reading the paper, particularly interested in the mitochondrial biogenesis part. They make several comparisons with exercise adaptations, and the authors conclude:
>>> The present study reveals that UA induces a molecular signature
response, in both the plasma and skeletal muscle of humans, resembling
that observed as a consequence of a regular exercise regimen.
The also selected sedentary people only (from their participant inclusion criteria). Note that this is somehow normal: I have been rejected twice in 2 clinical trials for mitochondrial myopathy because I was too fit.
>> body mass index 18-32 kg/m2 and demonstrated sedentary behavior
All the authors declare a conflict of interest with Amazentis. Nestlé just signed a partnership agreement with them [1] to help them develop the product.
I guess they are actively seeking the exercise in a pill product. If they make it, it would be one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of medicine.
