Understanding Mitochondrial Quality Control (MQC)
Understanding Mitochondrial Quality Control (MQC) Mitochondria are essential components within our cells, often termed the “powerhouses,” as they generate the energy required for cellular functions. To ensure they operate effectively, cells employ MQC mechanisms, which include:Mitochondrial Biogenesis: The creation of new mitochondria to meet energy demands.Mitochondrial Dynamics: The balance between fusion (joining of mitochondria) and…
What is NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
NAD+ is an important coenzyme involved in the transport high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is the process by which the majority of the body’s energy (ATP) is produced. Aging & Longevity Focus – NAD+ levels decline with age, and research on boosting NAD+ for longevity and cellular health has…
The Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response (ISRmt) in Aging and Longevity – A Summary
🔍 What is the ISRmt?The Integrated Stress Response (ISR) is the body’s way of reacting to different types of stress at the cellular level. Specifically, the Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response (ISRmt) is a defense mechanism triggered inside mitochondria (the energy-producing centers of our cells).When mitochondria experience stress—such as damage or dysfunction—ISRmt activates protective processes by…
Mitochondrial Health (Your Cellular Energy)
Mitochondria decline with age, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction. Optimizing them boosts energy & longevity. Four ways to Boost Mitochondrial Function
