Figure Legend Snippet: Mechanistic model of H4K5la in FSH-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. FSH activates aerobic glycolysis in GCs, generating lactate that induces histone H4K5la via P300/CBP. This epigenetic modification promotes HDAC4 transcription, leading to HDAC4-mediated deacetylation of PGC-1α at K329/330. Deacetylated PGC-1α facilitates the recruitment of nuclear respiratory factors (NRF1 and NRF2) to promoter regions, initiating the expression of essential genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, such as TFAM , TFB1M , and TFB2M . This process ultimately leads to an expansion of the mitochondrial network. Through this lactate–H4K5la–HDAC4 axis, FSH synchronizes mitochondrial expansion with the bioenergetic demands of follicular development.
