ABSTRACT
Liver, muscle, and adipose tissue are resistant to insulin action in type 2 diabetes. In spite of intensive studies, few diabetic genes have been identified. Recently, mitochondrial impairment has been observed in the muscle and adipose tissues of type 2 diabetes patients, implying that mitochondrial dysfunction could be a pivotal factor in type 2 diabetes. Here, we discuss mitochondrial malfunction leading to type 2 diabetes.
