Mitofusin 1 and 2 regulation of mitochondrial DNA content is a critical determinant of glucose homeostasis
Sidarala et al. examine the importance of the mitochondrial structural proteins, Mitofusins 1 and 2 (Mfn1/2), in diabetes. They find that Mfn1/2 control blood glucose by preserving mitochondrial DNA content, rather than mitochondrial structure.
