The data on the effect of mild uncouplers on the redistribution of hydrogen ions on both sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane and the value of the proton membrane potential are systematized. Evidence of a decrease in the level of reactive oxygen species under the action of these substances is given. Typical physiological effects that develop as a result of the action of mild uncouplers (thermogenesis, prevention of mito- and apoptosis) are described. Possible ways of using these substances as drugs for the prevention and treatment of obesity, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, inflammatory and oncological diseases are discussed.</strong></p>}, number={4}, journal={British Journal of Healthcare and Medical Research}, author={Zagoskin, Pavel P. and Erlykina, Elena I.}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={131–145} }
