Abstract

Mitochondria play an essential role in maintaining cellular metabolic homeostasis. However, its dysfunction will cause different pathophysiological consequences. A specific mechanism of action has been developed by cells to adapt to changes in physiological conditions or in response to different stimuli, by meditating mitochondrial number, structure, and energy metabolism. Whole grains are considered healthier than refined grains for their higher amounts of bioactive components, with proven multiple health benefits. The modulation of an appropriate mitochondrial function contributes to the bioactive-component-based health improvements. Thus, this review aims to represent current studies that identify the impact of natural bioactive components in whole grains against metabolic disorders by modulating mitochondrial biogenesis and energy metabolism. It seems most attractive to aim nutritional intervention at the prevention or treatment of metabolic abnormalities and hence to target dietary management at improvement of mitochondrial function.
