Mitochondrial genome instability disrupts brown adipose tissue through pseudohypoxia-iron-NAD⁺ axis
2026-08-31
Abstract excerpt
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a mitochondria-rich thermogenic organ whose function depends on high oxidative capacity, yet how primary mitochondrial dysfunction remodels BAT identity and metabolism remains poorly defined. Using the Deletor mouse model of progressive mtDNA deletion disease, we identify a pseudohypoxiairon-NAD+ axis as a central organiser of BAT pathology. Deletor BAT underwent profound structural,...
