In people with obesity, this process can be affected, which can contribute to significant health problems.<\/p>\n<p>The results of this study published in the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fendo.2023.1098391\/full\"><em>Frontiers of Endocrinology<\/em><\/a> showed that in mouse models treatment with the GLP-1 receptor agonist improved mitochondrial function in the liver. On the other hand, the omega-3 fatty acid supplement, which had shown beneficial effects at the cardiac level, had no negative effects on mitochondrial respiration.<\/p>\n<p>These findings could have implications for obesity-related diseases treatment, such as diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004.
