Found this interesting when researching mitochondrial function in South Asians. 

A 2008 study in Diabetes reported that Asian Indians exhibit higher skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity despite severe insulin resistance, suggesting mitochondrial dysfunction may not be the primary cause of insulin resistance in this population. However, subsequent research indicates that mitochondrial function’s role in insulin resistance among South Asians is complex, with factors like reduced fatty acid oxidation and ectopic fat deposition also contributing.
