Cover Story: Declining mitochondrial health is partially responsible for skin deterioration with age. We previously demonstrated that exercise decreased age-associated skin changes by enhancing mitochondrial health via IL-15 exercise-associated cytokine signaling. This study aimed to mimic these effects in fibroblasts isolated from older, sedentary women using a novel multi-ingredient supplement (MIS). MIS treatment increased mRNA abundance of mitochondrial biogenesis activators and downstream IL-15 pathways, and proteins for oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant defenses. MIS also lowered cellular senescence and cytotoxicity. Overall, MIS led to exercise-mimetic effects on dermal fibroblasts and their mitochondria by reproducing the molecular and biochemical effects downstream of IL-15 activation. View this paper
