Furthermore, similar effects were observed with the selective Drp-1 inhibitor mdivi-1, suggesting that inhibiting mitochondrial fission mediates the therapeutic effects of pioglitazone. Pioglitazone administration activated AMPK phosphorylation, but these effects, along with pioglitazone's ability to reverse oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial fission, were abolished by the AMPK inhibitor compound C. In vivo, pioglitazone alleviated motor dysfunction, prolonged lifespan, and promoted weight gain in Ndufs4 KO mice.

Alteration within the dual allelic variants of transcription factor TCF12 causes female infertility; however, its impact on female reproduction is still unknown. In this study, we provide evidence that TCF12 is abundantly expressed within the nucleus of oocytes during growth at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage, recognising and binding to the functional domain of target genes to moderate transcriptional activity. The absence of Tcf12 in oocytes during the primordial follicular phase causes female sterility. Tcf12 does not participate in meiotic maturation; however, unlike Tcf3, it is essential for fertilisation and preimplantation development. Tcf12 maintains fertilisation competence by controlling the proper expression and location of cortical granules and protease ovastacin (encoded by Astl). In contrast, zygotes without TCF12 have a prolonged mitotic cell cycle upon a decrease in protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity inhibition, resulting in zygotic genome activation (ZGA) failure during the 2-cell stage. Maternal knockout embryos gradually lose their developmental potential in subsequent developmental processes.
