6 statements about Mitochondria, every show
Dr. Kuno: Cancer Cells Rely on Fermentation Due to Mitochondrial Dysfunction
“And when you look at cancer cells, they have malfunctioning mitochondria. The mitochondria can't do this elaborate Citric acid cycle where they take sugar and makes 36 ATP per molecule. They can only ferment. It's a very primitive way of energy production, two…”
Kuno: 95% of human melatonin is produced in mitochondria
“95% of melatonin is made in our mitochondria, and it's an anti-inflammatory.”
Jeffery: LED light causes retinal mitochondria to deteriorate in real time
“The light found in LEDs, when we use them, certainly we'll be using them on the retiny looking at mice, we can watch the mitochondria gently go downhill.
They're far less responsive.
They, their membrane potentials are coming down.
The mitochondria are not bre…”
JC: No proof NAD precursor supplements reach the mitochondria
“But if you're talking about taking supplements that are working at a mitochondrial level, it doesn't have any proof. It doesn't have any validation. For example, if we talk about NAD precursors, Today, we don't know if those precursors are actually getting abs…”
Patrick: Pesticides like paraquat induce Parkinson's symptoms by disrupting mitochondria
“And those are chemicals that actually cause, we use them. Scientists use them. I've used it myself in the lab to induce Parkinson-like symptoms in animals because it disrupts your mitochondria, which are the, they're little organelles inside of almost all of y…”
Jeffrey Wu: Ketones yield more energy per unit carbon than glucose
“Ketones are compounds that are broken down from fat And our cells can use that to create ATP, and it's very interesting because a lot of emerging data around ketones being more efficient for the mitochondria to produce energy, you actually get more power per u…”
