What is SR-9009?
SR-9009 is an experimental synthetic molecule that acts as an agonist of Rev-Erbα receptors, a component of the biological clock that regulates circadian rhythms. It is being investigated for its potential effects on metabolic processes, energy expenditure, inflammatory responses, and lipid metabolism. Interestingly, SR-9009 was developed to “biochemically mimic” the effects of exercise.
How does SR-9009 work?
SR-9009 activates nuclear receptors Rev-Erbα, which play a role in the synchronization of the internal biological clock. By activating these receptors, SR-9009 affects the expression of genes responsible for fat metabolism, glucose and mitochondrial biogenesis. The result is increased energy expenditure, reduced cholesterol production and improved metabolic balance - without direct stimulation of the central nervous system.
Researched effects and interesting facts
- Increased energy expenditure at rest and during exercise (rodent studies).
- Reducing triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
- Suppression of inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-6.
- Impact on the circadian rhythm of sleep and wakefulness.
- Potential in obesity and metabolic syndrome research.
