Mitochondrial Efficiency Dermal

Meaning

Mitochondrial Efficiency Dermal refers to the optimal functioning of the mitochondria within skin cells, particularly fibroblasts and keratinocytes, characterized by high rates of ATP production with minimal generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This efficiency is critical for powering the energetically demanding processes of collagen synthesis, cellular turnover, and DNA repair within the skin. A decline in this efficiency is a primary driver of dermal aging and structural degradation. It is a key biomarker of the skin’s biological age.
