Mitochondrial Energetics

Meaning

Mitochondrial Energetics refers to the complex biochemical processes within the mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, that are responsible for converting nutrients into usable cellular energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This function is absolutely vital for every physiological process, including hormone synthesis, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction. Optimal mitochondrial energetics are a core determinant of metabolic health, cellular resilience, and the overall rate of biological aging.
