Mitochondria Efficiency

Meaning

Mitochondria Efficiency refers to the rate and effectiveness with which the cell’s powerhouses convert metabolic substrates, like glucose and fatty acids, into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) while minimizing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat. High efficiency is paramount for sustained physical performance, cognitive function, and cellular longevity, as it ensures adequate energy supply without excessive oxidative stress. This metric is a fundamental measure of cellular vitality and metabolic health.
