Abstract

Leigh syndrome, a mitochondrial disease, can be modeled in mice with a deficiency in mitochondrial complex I that results in a decreased NAD+/NADH ratio. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Liu et al. (2021) identify glycerol-3-phosphate (Gro3P) biosynthesis as a method for regenerating cytosolic NAD+ to ameliorate pathology in this mitochondrial disease model.
