Mitochondrial

Relating to mitochondria, the double-membrane organelles responsible for producing the majority of cellular energy (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial function is central to cellular health, and mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in aging, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders. Several peptides, including SS-31 (Elamipretide) and MOTS-c, are actively researched for their potential effects on mitochondrial function, membrane integrity, and energy production efficiency.
