Mitochondrial DNA: An Up‐and‐coming Actor in White Adipose Tissue Pathophysiology
21 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
The role of mitochondria in white adipose tissue has traditionally received little attention. This historic neglect is based on the assumption that the white adipocyte's poor mitochondrial equipment, being confined to the small cellular space adjacent to the fat droplet, could have little relevance to white adipose cell function. In contrast, the brown adipocyte, which specializes in thermogenesis, has a robust...
