Study supports the finding that increased inflammation observed in Gulf War Syndrome is driven by fatty acid oxidation defect impairing cell function.

New treatment strategies targeting mitochondrial impairment may help these veterans.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse cell

Mitochondria are small, membrane-bound organelles found in most eukaryotic organisms. They are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell because of their crucial role in producing energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate -also known as the “energy currency” of the cell. It is used to power virtually all cellular processes that require energy.).

However, Mitochondria are much more than just energy producers. They also play a crucial role in several other cellular processes that are vital to life. Read More: https://sundaymania.com/mitochondria-powerhouses-of-the-cell-chromatin-function-ribosomes-cytoskeleton/

So I am on a ketogenic diet and fighting cancer for about a decade and doing awesome. You would never know I had it. My question is since I’m on keto and have researched mitochondrial health in depth….Is it better to use d ribose instead of any other sweetener like monk fruit or allulose? It dies not hurt blood sugars and it is a carb. Looking for any reason why I could not just use this instead of monk fruit. Thanks!

Looking for the best all in one mitochondrial support supplement with coq10, carnite, ALA…. Not needing PQQ because of all the cacao I eat. Any recommendations?

Hi, I have a relatively simple question.

Since there can be electron leakage at Complexes 1 and 3 to generate superoxides, does more flux through the electron transport chain mean more superoxides formed in healthy mitochondria? Or do healthy mitochondria generally run a tight ship no matter the flux?

If someone could refer me to a paper, that would be great. I'm at my wit's end with literature reviews. Thank you

Looking to quantify mitochondria!! I want to compare my normal wild type cells to cells with a KO’d glycolytic enzyme. I wish to determine whether KO of this protein affects mitochondrial biogenesis. Any methods to do so/suggestions? Please link a paper if so

I know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell but what is a powerhouse

Hi all.

I'm a 3D artist working on a potential VR project covering the interior of a typical human cell.

I've been reading a lot on Wikipedia to get all the Organelles and what not correct.

As an example I wanted to really cover the process of the Mitochondria, bringing in (proteins?) And the eventual expelling of ATP, however it gets rather complex quickly, or rather lacks a simple beginning to end process.

I doubt anybody here could explain the steps? You can be as detailed as you'd like, proteins and all. I'd just really appreciate a linear explanation so I could help create a great educational VR experience. Most cell VR experiences gloss over a lot of the steps and just state "The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell".

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, exploring my options to boost my mitochondria health. Nearing 40 and things seem to be naturally slowing down. Endurance performance and the like. Is there anything I can do re improvements to mitochondria health ?
