Mitochondria and Aging
- Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, are crucial for energy production in all tissues, including brain, heart, and muscles.
- Suboptimal mitochondrial function leads to tissue breakdown, reduced organ cross-talk, and aging.
Mitophagy
- Mitophagy, a cellular process, recycles damaged mitochondria, improving cellular energy.
- This process is crucial for longevity and overall health.
Pomegranates and Urolithin A
- Certain plant compounds, like ellagitannins in pomegranates, require a healthy microbiome to convert into beneficial metabolites.
- Urolithin A, one such metabolite, significantly impacts mitochondrial health.
