Remedying the Mitochondria to Cure Human Diseases by Natural Products

الملخص EN

Mitochondria are the ‘engine’ of cells.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important mechanism in many human diseases.

Many natural products could remedy the mitochondria to alleviate mitochondria-involved diseases.

In this review, we summarized the current knowledge of the relationship between the mitochondria and human diseases and the regulation of natural products to the mitochondria.

We proposed that the development of mitochondrial regulators/nutrients from natural products to remedy mitochondrial dysfunction represents an attractive strategy for a mitochondria-involved disorder therapy.

Moreover, investigating the mitochondrial regulation of natural products can potentiate the in-depth comprehension of the mechanism of action of natural products.
