Mitochondrial Energy Regulation

Meaning

Mitochondrial Energy Regulation is the complex physiological process governing the biogenesis, fission/fusion dynamics, and functional efficiency of the mitochondria, the cell’s primary energy-producing organelles. This regulation ensures the appropriate supply of ATP is matched to the cellular energy demand while simultaneously minimizing the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Effective regulation is a fundamental determinant of cellular vitality, metabolic health, and resistance to age-related decline.
