Caloric restriction can stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis and improve mitochondrial efficiency.
Implementing caloric restriction may enhance mitochondrial function and combat insulin resistance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Caloric restriction and the adiponectin signaling pathway, however, can stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis by elevating the transcriptional machinery that regulates mitochondrial mass.
