Understanding Reductive Stress in Relation to Chronic Diseases

The chapter explains how an imbalance between fuel and oxygen in mitochondria leads to reductive stress, causing electron flow issues and oxidative stress. It delves into the impact of surplus electrons on various metabolic processes, highlighting the role of NADH and acetyl-CoA in creating reductive stress. The discussion emphasizes how reductive stress can diminish mitochondrial energy production, affecting overall health and contributing to chronic diseases.
