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”

Evidence Quality Assessment
Claim Status
overstated
Study Design Support
Design cannot support claim
Appropriate Language Strength
probability
Can suggest probability/likelihood
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.
