Muscle mitochondrial respiratory metabolism is reduced in aging and diabetes. Now,
coordinated changes in expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation have
been found in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Peroxisome proliferator
activator protein-γ co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) seems to be in charge of this orchestrated
change in gene expression.
