Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Acipimox, also known as Olbemox and K-9321, is hormone-sensitive lipase inhibitor. Acipimox treatment resulted in a robust elevation in expression of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial gene sets and a mitonuclear protein imbalance, which may indicate activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response. Further studies in C2C12 myotubes confirmed a direct effect of acipimox on NAD(+) levels, mitonuclear protein imbalance, and mitochondrial oxidative capacity.
