Is Your Mitochondrial Function Dysfunctional?
mitochondria don't produce all the energy but they produce certainly most of it was about 85% 90% about their yes. Yeah because they have the alternative glycolytic pathway. So that energy production clearly is what they're noted for but they have other radically important functions such as signaling molecules especially for signaling the important process called apoptosis. The interesting thing to note however is that if your mitochondria are dysfunctional first of all it might not be able to understand those signals properly and not give the signal for euthanasia when it's supposed to happen. If there's not enough energy being produced well you're going to allow these defective cells to survive and multiply. When you have this functional mitochond
