Formoterol is a long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is clinically used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Formoterol exhibits bronchodilatory, anti-asthma, and anti-obesity activities. In a clinical setting, formoterol increases resting energy expenditure, fat utilization, and mitochondrial biogenesis; it also increases mitochondrial expression of NADH dehydrogenase and ATP synthase.
