Bio-Energetic Efficiency

Meaning

This refers to the physiological capacity to convert ingested substrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with minimal loss to heat or reactive oxygen species generation. High efficiency is foundational for sustaining demanding endocrine processes and maintaining cellular integrity over time. It reflects the quality of mitochondrial function within target tissues. Optimal bio-energetic status directly supports robust hormonal signaling cascades.
