- Mitochondrial Biogenesis
- 35–50% increase after 8–12 weeks
- 35–40% increase after 14 days
- 20–30% increase after 14 days
- SS-LUP-332 produces comparable magnitude to exercise in compressed timeline; AMPK activators are less potent
- PGC-1α Upregulation
- 2–4× baseline, peaks 3–6 hours post-exercise
- 2.5–3× baseline, peaks 4–6 hours post-dose
- 1.5–2× baseline, sustained elevation
- ERR activation mirrors exercise transcriptional profile more closely than AMPK-only pathways
- Fat Oxidation (RER shift)
- RER 0.75–0.80 in trained state
- RER 0.78–0.82 in dosed state
- RER 0.85–0.88 in dosed state
- SS-LUP-332 replicates substrate utilisation shift; AMPK activators show partial effect
- Physical Stress (muscle damage, CNS fatigue)
- Present. Confounds metabolic data
- Absent. Isolates metabolic pathway
- Absent. Isolates energy-stress signal
- Chemical mimetics eliminate mechanical confounders critical for pathway-specific studies
- Endurance Capacity (time to exhaustion)
- 40–60% improvement after 8 weeks training
- 15–25% improvement after 14 days dosing
- 10–15% improvement after 14 days dosing
- SS-LUP-332 improves oxidative capacity without contractile adaptation. Partial endurance gain
- Clinical Translation
- Safe, evidence-based
- Research-grade only, no human trials
- Research-grade, some human safety data
- Exercise remains gold standard for human intervention; mimetics are research tools, not replacements
