Abstract

Mitochondria undergo dynamic changes to maintain function in eukaryotic cells. Insulin action in parallel regulates glucose homeostasis, but whether specific changes in mitochondrial dynamics alter insulin action and glucose homeostasis remains elusive. Here, we report that high-fat feeding in rodents incurred adaptive dynamic changes in mitochondria through an increase in mitochondrial fission in parallel to an activation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the brain. Direct inhibition of Drp1 negated high-fat-feeding-induced mitochondrial fission, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and insulin resistance in the DVC and subsequently restored hepatic glucose production regulation. Conversely, molecular activation of DVC Drp1 in healthy rodents was sufficient to induce DVC mitochondrial fission, ER stress, and insulin resistance. Together, these data illustrate that Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission changes in the DVC regulate insulin action and suggest that targeting the Drp1-mitochondrial-dependent pathway in the brain may have therapeutic potential in insulin resistance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2022.
All research outputs
#2,538,042
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Cell Reports
#5,470
of 12,965 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,694
of 324,443 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell Reports
#95
of 241 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,965 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,443 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 241 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
