We conclude that imeglimin induces a kinetic constraint on the respiratory chain that does not affect its maximal activity. This kinetic constraint is offset by a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential, which induces a thermodynamic constraint on the ATPase responsible for a decrease in the ATP/ADP ratio.
