Cellular Bioenergetics

Meaning

Cellular bioenergetics is the scientific study of energy flow and transformation within living cells, focusing primarily on the processes that govern the production, storage, and utilization of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This core physiological process is largely executed by the mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, and dictates the functional capacity and survival of all tissues. Optimized bioenergetics are foundational to hormonal health, ensuring that endocrine glands and target cells have the necessary energy for synthesis, secretion, and receptor signaling. A decline in this function is a hallmark of aging and metabolic dysfunction.
