Mitochondrial Energetics in Obesity
Explore this recorded session on mitochondrial energetics from the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions. The talks examine how estrogen receptor alpha supports muscle mitochondrial health, exercise adaptation, and metabolic resilience, and how interactions between mitochondria and lipid droplets regulate fat storage and use.
Overview
Explore this recorded session on mitochondrial energetics from the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions. The talks examine how estrogen receptor alpha supports muscle mitochondrial health, exercise adaptation, and metabolic resilience, and how interactions between mitochondria and lipid droplets regulate fat storage and use.
Learning Objectives
  • Examine how skeletal-muscle ERα supports mitochondrial function and metabolic health.
  • Compare the fuel-use roles of peridroplet and cytosolic mitochondria in brown adipose tissue.
  • Analyze how mitochondrial calcium handling regulates detachment from lipid droplets.
