Exogenous mitochondrial transfer increases energy expenditure and attenuates adiposity gains in mice with diet-induced obesity

Maria Namwanje, Soumi Mazumdar, Amanda Stayton…·Amandeep Bajwa

This study shows that transferring mitochondria from lean mice to obese mice increases energy expenditure, reduces adiposity, and improves metabolic health.
