Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 protects mice from high-fat diet-induced metabolic stress by limiting oxidative damage to the mitochondria from brown adipose tissue

Obesity: Possible protective enzyme identified An enzyme that limits the build-up of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fat cells protects mice against metabolic stress during a high-fat diet. Calorie overload leads to high levels of damaging ROS in the mitochondria of brown fat cells. This can disrup...
