Mitochondrial function was severely compromised on multiple levels, including abnormalities in mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC1), nutrient sensors regulating fatty-acid entry into mitochondria (pAMPK/AMPK, SirT3, CPT1b), mitochondrial -oxidation of fatty-acids (HADHA, PPAR), electron transport chain complexes (I, II, III, V), ATP synthesis (ATP5A), and mitophagy (PINK1)
