Abstract
Purpose of Review
This narrative review summarizes current literature on the relationship of mitochondrial biomarkers with obesity-related characteristics, including body mass index and body composition.
Recent Findings
Mitochondria, as cellular powerhouses, play a pivotal role in energy production and the regulation of metabolic process. Altered mitochondrial functions contribute to obesity, yet evidence of the intricate relationship between mitochondrial dynamics and obesity-related outcomes in human population studies is scarce and warrants further attention.
Summary
We discuss emerging evidence linking obesity and related health outcomes to impaired oxidative phosphorylation pathways, oxidative stress and mtDNA variants, copy number and methylation, all hallmark of suboptimal mitochondrial function. We also explore the influence of dietary interventions and metabolic and bariatric surgery procedures on restoring mitochondrial attributes of individuals with obesity. Finally, we report on the potential knowledge gaps in the mitochondrial dynamics for human health for future study.
期刊介绍:
The main objective of Current Obesity Reports is to provide expert review articles on recent advancements in the interdisciplinary field of obesity research. Our aim is to offer clear, insightful, and balanced contributions that will benefit all individuals involved in the treatment and prevention of obesity, as well as related conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, gynecological issues, cancer, mental health, respiratory complications, and rheumatological diseases. We strive to redefine the way knowledge is expressed and provide organized content for the benefit of our readership.
