Cellular Energy Currency

Meaning

Cellular Energy Currency is a clinical metaphor for Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the primary molecule that stores and transfers energy within all living cells, powering virtually every biological process. Maintaining a robust and readily available supply of ATP is fundamental to physiological health, dictating the capacity for muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and hormone synthesis. The efficiency of this currency’s production is a key determinant of vitality and longevity.
