The work points to magnesium movement inside mitochondria, the energy-producing structures found in cells.&nbsp;
When magnesium enters mitochondria through a gene called MRS2, it can slow the cell&rsquo;s ability to burn sugar and fat. Researchers removed the MRS2 gene in mice.&nbsp;
After 52 weeks of a fat-heavy diet, normal mice gained weight and developed signs of metabolic disease, while mice without MRS2 stayed lean.
