High-fat diet (HFD) causes mitochondrial dysfunction in white adipocytes. A study in _Nature Metabolism_ identifies the small GTPase RalA as a culprit in mice. Upon HFD, RalA activates the
fission protein Drp1 to cause mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction, linking mitochondrial fuel utilization in white adipocytes to systemic lipid metabolism. Access through your
