Abstract
Introduction: Mitochondria form an interconnected and dynamic web that undergoes continuous cycles of fusion and fission events. This phenomenon, known as mitochondrial dynamics, represents a key quality control system to maintain a healthy mitochondrial population but also a mechanism to bioenergetically adapt to the cellular and tissue energetic demands. Consequently, mitochondria can be viewed not only as energy supply organelles but also as energy sensors. It is therefore not surprising that disrupted mitochondrial bioenergetics, concomitantly with alterations in mitochondrial architecture, has been associated with several diseases including metabolic disorders.
Conclusion: Here, we review current evidences connecting mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetic alterations with the development of obesity and diabetes-related phenotypes, and how current strategies to alleviate such phenotypes impact on mitochondrial network and function.Keywords: Energy metabolism, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, mitochondria, mitochondrial dynamics, fusion, fission, glucose homeostasis.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
