Certain drugs like Metformin might help activate aging-related pathways, and some could work better with exercise, but this is just a theory from the abstract summary - full study details were not available

Scientific Claim

Metformin, MOTS-C, and AICAR may stimulate AMPK-SIRT1, and some mimetics may synergize with exercise.

Original Statement

Various mimetics can stimulate AMPK-SIRT1, such as Metformin, the mitochondrial derived peptide MOTS-C, AICAR, and other compounds intended for people with medical issues that prevents exercise. Some display a synergistic effect with exercise

Assessment Explanation

The abstract uses definitive language ('can stimulate', 'display') but the study is a narrative review with no original data, so causation cannot be established.
