Today, I’m going to take you through the role mitochondria play in the process of chronic disease. Mitochondria are best known for their participation in cellular respiration via oxidative phosphorylation. This reaction produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a form of cellular energy. Mitochondria participate in important metabolic pathways and regulate various important cellular functions. Due to…
Have you noticed how complex our lives have become over the last 20 years? Everything is go, go, go.
