The Ketone Diet: A Guide to Preserving the Cell's Electrical Potential
The electrical potential within a cell is actually a consequence of ATP production. There's a sodium-potassium ATPase that maintains that membrane potential. If these things are not there, the bioenergetic state of the cell will be dysregulated. We use different dyes to look at membrane potential in the mitochondria and membrane potential of the cell. And then we figure out what disrupts it and then we develop countermeasures that we ultimately move to humans to preserve that.
