Perspectives and Potential Applications of Mitochondria‐Targeted Antioxidants in Cardiometabolic Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes
3 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
There is abundant evidence to suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a main cause of insulin resistance and related cardiometabolic comorbidities. On the other hand, insulin resistance is one of the main characteristics of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Lipid and glucose metabolism require mitochondria to generate energy, and when O2 consumption is low due to inefficient nutrient oxidation,...
