Mitochondrial damage is common in metabolic diseases like Diabetes, affecting insulin production and function in patients. Diabetics’ insulin-producing β-cells have abnormal mitochondria, impairing energy generation. Previous studies couldn’t explain why this happened. A study by the University of Michigan found that dysfunctional mitochondria affect β-cell maturation and function in mice. Researchers damaged three key mitochondrial components: DNA, a pathway to remove damaged mitochondria, and one maintaining healthy mitochondria. This activated a stress response, causing β-cells to become immature and stop producing enough insulin. Emily M. Walker, Ph.D., a research assistant professor of internal medicine and the study’s first author, said, Read Full Article At: A way to cut Diabetes
