    GlossaryMitochondrial Function

    processes that produce energy within cell structures

    Mitochondrial function refers to the processes carried out by mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. These organelles convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell, through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Proper mitochondrial function is crucial for energy production, cellular metabolism, and overall cell health.
