Adipocyte-specific mitochondrial intermediate peptidase (Mipep) deficiency protects against LPS-induced lethal inflammation through GDF15- and FGF21-independent mechanisms
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ failure driven by an abnormally uncontrollable inflammatory response to systemic infection. Recent studies have demonstrated that mild mitochondrial stress confers protection against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock; however, the precise mechanisms linking mitochondri...
