Changes in mitochondrial dynamics (fusion / fission) alter the morphology and bioenergetics of mitochondria. Physical exercise in turn is a positive regulator of skeletal muscle metabolic functions. Recently, our group demonstrated that the reestablishment of the mitochondrial fusion-fission balance through physical exercise is sufficient to recover the mitochondrial bioenergetic metaboli…
Mitochondria are organelles that continually undergo fusion and fission. These opposite processes work together to maintain the shape, size, number and function of mitochondria. Mitochondrial fusion proteins (mitofusins 1 and 2) also play key role in the mitochondria-endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER) communication; therefore, affecting critical intracellular processes such as phospholipids…
