Mucking With Metabolism

Inability to repair DNA damage in mitochondria could foster metabolic syndrome

Abstract: In some family businesses, one heir will strike out in a new direction, rejecting his or her expected fate. Similarly, a protein whose kin protect animals from cancer instead seems to guard mice against a metabolic disruption. The results show that flawed DNA repair could contribute to a condition called metabolic syndrome, and they support a link between the condition and mitochondria.
