Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Mitochondrial dysfunction is the creation of dysfunction in the mitochondria which often affects oxidative phosphorylation.

The mitochondiron is an organelle inside of a eukaryotic cell. The mitochondrion has two ogranelle membranes. In these membranes the electron transport chain is contained. This electron transport chain connects the shuttling of electrons across the inner membrane with the transfer of protons to create a proton gradient. This gradient allows for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is crucial for the cell to survive.

Mention mtDNA and mitochondrial proteins and how they are related to function. Mention ROS Mention Mitohormesis
