AGO2 and Obesity: In agreement with the activation of AMPK, other AMPK substrates, UNC-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1), and Mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) are increased in the liver of L-Ago2 KO mice (Supplementary Fig. 7a), suggesting enhanced autophagy/mitophagy and improved mitochondrial quality in the Ago2-deficient liver in obesity.
