Insulin resistance is associated with epigenetic and genetic regulation of mitochondrial DNA in obese humans
10 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial alterations have been observed in subjects with metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Studies on animal models and cell cultures suggest aberrant glucose and lipid levels, and impaired insulin signaling might lead to mitochondrial changes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying mitochondrial aberrance remains largely unexplored in human subjects. RESULTS: Here we show...
