Description

Hepatic insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes was recently associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria miscommunication. These contact sites (mitochondria-associated membranes: MAMs) are highly dynamic and involved in many functions; however, whether MAM dysfunction plays a causal role in hepatic insulin resistance and steatosis is not clear. Thus, we aimed to determine whether and how organelle miscommunication plays a role in the onset and progression of hepatic metabolic impairment.
