Mitochondrial Function Tests

Meaning

Mitochondrial Function Tests are a suite of specialized diagnostic assays designed to assess the efficiency of cellular energy production, specifically the processes within the mitochondria, the cell’s primary energy generators. These tests measure parameters such as oxygen consumption rate, ATP production, and the integrity of the electron transport chain. Impaired mitochondrial function is a hallmark of cellular aging and is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction and hormonal decline. The results provide actionable data for implementing targeted nutritional and therapeutic interventions to enhance cellular vitality.
