Frataxin deficiency induces lipid accumulation and affects thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue

2019-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Decreased expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN) causes Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA). FRDA is a neurodegenerative disease also characterized by systemic metabolic alterations that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes thus aggravating FRDA prognosis.
