Reducing oxidative stress by effectively reducing electron leakage from
the mitochondria electron transport chain.

The team tested whether overexpression of PGC1 - alpha could protect cultures of rat brain cells from the pesticide rotenone, which inhibits complex I of the
electron transport chain in neuronal
mitochondria and produces many symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's.
If the
electron transport chain in the
mitochondria is faulty and you're not efficiently making ATP, you'll produce more free radicals and deplete your glutathione.
Aerobic respiration produces creates around 17 times more energy as ATP through reactions within the
mitochondria called the Krebs or citric acid cycle and the
Electron Transport Chain than the aerobic glycolysis that takes place in the muscle tissues outside the
mitochondria (Fig. 1).
Morley Robbins: Well, people who have energy problems — fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue — the likely culprit is a key enzyme that's part of the
electron transport chain, which is what's taking place inside those energy furnaces, the
mitochondria.
The only time I wan na talk about food is when we talk about
electrons and protons because the input in
mitochondria is
electron chain transport.
Your body creates energy by passing the
electrons from carbs and fat to oxygen through the
electron transport chain in your
mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Also, milk thistle inhibits certain enzymes that promote free radical production, along with maintaining the
electron -
transport chain of cell
mitochondria during stressful conditions.
When the
mitochondria are working to produce energy, some
electrons leak from the
electron transport chain to react with oxygen and form the free radical superoxide.
Both items contribute to the
mitochondria not obtaining enough pyruvate and this hinders both the Citric Acid Cycle and the
Electron Transport Chain and thus blocks the production of an adequate amount of ATP in the
mitochondria.
