Mitochondrial Respiration Assessment

Meaning

Mitochondrial Respiration Assessment is a direct evaluation of the efficiency and capacity of the electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation within cellular mitochondria. This measurement quantifies the cell’s ability to utilize oxygen to generate ATP, reflecting the core engine of cellular energy production. In hormonal wellness, robust respiration is prerequisite for anabolic processes and stress recovery, as compromised function limits overall physiological output. A thorough assessment identifies deficits in energy handling capacity.
