Cellular Energy Regulation

Meaning

Cellular Energy Regulation is the complex, tightly controlled process by which individual cells manage the production, storage, and utilization of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy currency essential for all metabolic and structural functions. This regulation is paramount for processes like hormone synthesis, ion transport, and tissue integrity. Compromised regulation, often stemming from mitochondrial dysfunction, is directly implicated in metabolic syndrome, hormonal imbalance, and accelerated aging phenotypes.
