What was also very interesting about the study was that increased
mitochondrial efficiency of the cell (needing less oxygen), apparently is owed to the lower levels of proteins... proteins that normally make the mitochondria «leaky» and inefficient.

This store
of phosphocreatine is also replenished by the mitochondria following muscle contraction and a measure
of mitochondrial efficiency is the time taken for replenishing these stores: better
mitochondrial function is linked to shorter times
of phosphocreatine recovery.

efficiency in mice.
Take - home: Oxidative stress during exercise sends signals that increase
mitochondrial number and
efficiency to support the energy demands
of exercise.
(5) Both gene expression and metabolic studies showed that
mitochondrial efficiency was increased — especially the ability
of mitochondria to generate energy from fat stores.
