Mitochondrial retrograde signaling connects respiratory capacity to thermogenic gene expression

Abstract Mitochondrial respiration plays a crucial role in determining the metabolic state of brown adipose tissue (BAT), due to its direct roles in thermogenesis, as well as through additional mechanisms. Here, we show that respiration-dependent retrograde signaling from mitochondria to nucleus con...
