Public Health Insider | Remodeling Your Mitochondrial Kitchen

In the last decade, there have been some significant advances in the management of type 2 diabetes through medication. But what if that same medication could also help the 1 out of 3 Americans who are prediabetic from becoming diabetic? And what if there was possible overlap with metabolic effects of physical activity on muscle tissue, a major organ related to diabetes? 

For this episode of the Public Health Insider, OSU Kinesiology faculty and a doctoral student from the Translational Metabolism Research Laboratory (TMRL) detail recent findings on how a new class of diabetes medications may have positive results in the skeletal muscle and how understanding the effects of physical activity is shedding new light on the importance of the mitochondria in metabolic health.

Join us as we look at the importance of remodeling your mitochondrial kitchen for your metabolic health and why it is more than just the powerhouse of the cell.
