The treatment has substantial clinical trial support for various musculoskeletal conditions
Although Pol- has relatively low affinity for these analogues (100), their incorporation causes premature chain termination during mtDNA replication, leading to mtDNA depletion, reduced expression of -encoded OXPHOS subunits, and ultimately impaired ETC function and ATP production (101103)
This strategy has been applied to dulaglutide, where two GLP-1 molecules are fused to the Fc fragment of IgG4, increasing the half-life while reducing the renal elimination due to the increased molecular weight
