An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding a moderate level of 2 different fiber sources on energy metabolites; mitochondrial biogenesis in the intestine, liver, and muscle; and the expression of some genes that regulate energy metabolism in intestine, liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Female pigs (n = 36; BW = 15.0 ± 0.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been suggested as a causal factor for insulin resistance and diabetes. Previously we have shown a decrease of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in tissues of diabetic patients. The mitochondrial proteins, which regulate the mitochondrial biogensis, including transcription and replication of mtDNA, are encoded by nuclear DNA.

Biogenesis occurred in these zones; thus, it is axiomatic that some, perhaps many, stages of biogensis occurred in intimate association with the mineral constituents of soils. Because of a high surface to mass ration and, consequently, a high surface reactivity, the layer lattice clay minerals are the most important of these.
