I feel like They rob Us when They teach Us because We've only been told about ATP, this is the 1st time I'm hearing about anything other than it. where can I find more comprehensive Info about it? thank You, best regards.

      Look up Morley Robbins, Dr Chris Palmer, and Dr. Thomas Seyfried. They all discuss addressing mitochondrial function from different angles (optimal nutrition minus key toxin), neurological disorders, and cancer as a metabolic disorder.
      They all work with clients who have seen some profound positive changes.
      This information is no magic oil, though - welcome to complex systems.

      ATP, the energy molecule output of mitochondria, is badly misrepresented. It is actually Mg-ATP, the ATP is a doorstop in the cell without a magnesium 2+ attached to it. For some fun, try to find magnesium listed on a “nutrition label” inside your local grocery store. Seems Big Brother doesn’t want our Mg-ATP functioning at peak capacity!

    • @wellnesspathforme6236
      @wellnesspathforme6236 Рік тому

      Copper runs cytochrome c oxidase, which spilts oxygen to produce ADP (and water) that can be flipped into Mg-ATP, the TRUE energy molecule of the cell. Want more fun? Try to find copper on a “nutrition label!” Big Brother strikes again!
      Copper is actually toxic, so it has to be complex with a protein called ceruloplasmin (blue blood) before it can be transported to 40 quadrillion mitochondria and every else it goes. ATP7B is the enzyme that loads copper into ceruloplasmin, and ATP7B depends on magnesium and retinoic acid to function. There is that pesky magnesium again!
      Ceruloplasmin levels are very often less than half the levels as seen in the 1940s. Worse, ceruloplasmin May or May not even contain copper.
      Ascorbic acid bleaches the copper out of ceruloplasmin.
      Glyphosate chelates copper to a oH below stomach acid.
      HFCS block copper absorption.
      NPK fertilizer has no copper or magnesium in it.

    The only thing I would add from a teaching perspective is the amazing fact that mitochondria are actually bacteria that have adapted to living symbiotically in our cells ( have I got this right ?) . So mind blowing. All of it. So pleased I found this site. Thank you.

    It occurs to me that smaller mitochondria have a greater surface area to volume ratio than larger/longer ones. Because of the selective semi-permeable membrane coupled to energy production, this greater ratio gives them a greater potential throughput which helps them cope with processing greater amounts of available "nutrition" (energy surplus). Conversely, a larger mitochondria will be able to leverage smaller quantities of available nutrition in order to maintain adequate energy production. In other words, the mitochondria adjust their surface area to volume ratio in response to nutrition availability in order to maintain metabolic homeostasis.

    • @monikasalaga
      @monikasalaga Рік тому +7

      It is not the size of a mitochondrion that matters but the amount of the inner membrane folds. The energy processes happen on the whole surface of the inner membrane, so the more folds within the mitochondrion the more effective it is.

As we usually never see a perfect match between demand rate and supply rate, I think that would bring the system full circle.

    This is very good, so to take it a step further, what we need to grasp is how to effectively/optimally an average person expend/retain (this has to be measured) energy, if we zoom out, this is basic physical flexibility, movement and exercise. What I imagine will happen is a more nutrient organic food with proper portion sizes, times to consume, and appropriate variety composition, using smart food processing & prepackaging. Labels on foods would be more about the type of activity a person is planning, and the approximate time of consuming it before hand.

    For a few years now the theories behind ME/CFS and long covid are related to mitophagy and fragmentation of mitochondria. Have you done any research near this topic? Do you have any opinions on the matter?
    There is some concern on my part, when you say low nutrition states prevent mitophagy. Mitophagy was an idea of improving the quality of mitochondria, but fasting seems to be giving patients MORE energy.
    Thank you

    It seems like the intermembrane space acts as a H+ buffer. Splitting into multiple mitochondria increases the ratio of volume of intermembrane space with the volume intracellular matrix. Inversely, elongation reduces that ratio, making the H+ buffer smaller, which is unnecessary when the energy production doesn't grossly outpace the energy needs

    A small request: can you please speculate on how methylene blue (MB) (acting as either an electron donor or electron scavenger, or both) interact in the energy transforms within mitochondria? I find it fascinating that MB is used as a treatment for cyanide poisoning, and wonder how that is facilitated at the proton pump and ROS activity level.

    • @UnrealTransformer
      @UnrealTransformer Рік тому +8

      MB act also against Parkinsonand Cancer. There are studies about it.

    • @unitedstatesdale
      @unitedstatesdale Рік тому +13

      Methylene blue (MB) is known to affect mitochondria in several ways. MB is a redox-active dye that can act as an electron acceptor and donor, and it is thought to modulate mitochondrial function by accepting and donating electrons in the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria.
      Here are some of the ways that methylene blue affects mitochondria:
      1. Enhancing mitochondrial respiration: MB can enhance mitochondrial respiration by accepting electrons from complex I and complex II of the ETC, and by donating electrons to cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV), which increases the production of ATP.
      2. Reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress: MB can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during mitochondrial respiration, thereby reducing oxidative stress and preventing mitochondrial damage.
      3. Improving mitochondrial function in disease: MB has been shown to improve mitochondrial function in various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, by improving the activity of the ETC and reducing oxidative stress.
      4. Regulating mitochondrial biogenesis: MB has been shown to increase mitochondrial biogenesis, the process by which new mitochondria are formed, by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis.
      Overall, methylene blue is a promising agent for modulating mitochondrial function and improving mitochondrial health. However, more research is needed to fully understand its effects and potential therapeutic applications.

    Fascinating. Today I learned that an ATP is a self charging capacitor driving a chemical motor. And you are saying that these capacitors are chronically over charged. The mitochondria breaking must be so the structure can handle the stress produced by the surplus charge. UCP is safety valve.

    It is beautiful in a way that it violates the area/volume principle. When you think about it, if there is a proton overload, the mitochondria should try to go for the highest amount of volume so it can have a larger reserve of proton for the times where there is an ATP demand, so it should elongate. But it does the exact opposite. Meaning that there are other mechanisms that is more beneficial than merely increasing the volume/area ratio. I love how evolution is highly based on statistics alone on a cellular level.

      I second that. I had M.E. in the 90’s-2000’s when nobody had a clue what it was, and most people thought I was just faking it. I had been studying biology at the time and always wondered if there was a possibility that it was an illness manifesting at the level of mitochondria. I had been so energetic to be being literally unable to think at times let alone walk. I don’t know what the current treatments are (if any), but it is an illness that deserves attention.
      NB - If anyone reading this has M.E. I want you to know that life does get better.
