Obesity contributes to the development of muscle mitochondriopathy. This condition impairs lipid metabolism and disrupts apoptotic activity in these cells. Animals that overexpress the protein mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (MTCH2) have greater accumulation of body fat, elevated mitochondrial dysfunction and hyperglycemia. On the other hand, animals that had MTCH2 deletion in muscle tiss…
Mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (MTCH2) was identified as one of the genes associated with obesity in the genome-wide association study. Animals that overexpress the MTCH2 protein have a more significant accumulation of body fat, elevated mitochondrial dysfunction, and hyperglycemia. On the other hand, animals that had MTCH2 deletion in muscle tissue were protected from weight gain and hy…
