But, there are important caveats
LC also affects mitochondrial activity by boosting mitochondrial biogenesis and decreasing oxidative stress
When stratified by comparator groups, the pooled estimate was most favorable in monotherapy trials versus placebo (SMD 2.41, 95% CI 4.43 to 0.39), whereas the add-on designs versus the same background treatment (SMD 0.65, 95% CI 1.85 to 0.55), head-to-head comparisons versus another drug (SMD 0.19, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.45), and add-on designs versus placebo (SMD 0.65, 95% CI 1.35 to 0.06) showed more modest estimates and did not provide clear evidence of a between-group difference overall (p=0.21)
