Enhanced Drp1 activity mediates excessive mitochondrial fission, contributing to the onset and progression of various chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Studies indicate that exercise mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction by modulating Drp1-related signaling targets, thereby inhibiting Drp1 activity and reducing excessive mitochondrial fission. This, in turn, enhances mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. This review synthesizes the current understanding of Drp1 structure and activation mechanisms, and analyzes the effects of exercise interventions on Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission in different disease models to improve common chronic conditions. This research deepens our insight into the specific mechanisms of Drp1-induced excessive mitochondrial fission in chronic disease pathogenesis, offering new theoretical support and practical guidance for exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention strategy.

Drug resistance is a prevalent challenge in clinical disease treatment, often leading to disease relapse and poor prognosis. Therefore, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying drug resistance and to develop targeted strategies for its effective prevention and management. Mitochondria, as vital energy-producing organelles within cells, have been recognized as key regulators of drug sensitivity.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a family of membrane proteins that regulate several cellular processes. Among the GPCRs, G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) regulate downstream signaling pathways and receptor desensitization. GRK2 has gained significant interest due to its cardiovascular physiology and pathological involvement.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental and biobehavioral conditions that arises from complex interactions between environmental factors and physiological development in genetically predisposed individuals. Among the most frequently observed metabolic abnormalities in ASD is mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria respond to cellular stress by altering their dynamics or initiating mitophagy.

Mitochondria are involved in a wide array of critical cellular processes from energy production to cell death. The morphology (size and shape) of mitochondrial compartments is highly responsive to both intracellular and extracellular conditions, making these organelles highly dynamic. Nutrient levels and stressors both inside and outside the cell inform the balance of mitochondrial fission and fusion and the recycling of mitochondrial components known as mitophagy.
