Mitochondriopathies and Mitochondrial Therapy

Viac o knihe

Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to various human diseases, including neurodegeneration and diabetes. The book explores treatments such as coenzyme Q and vitamin E, as well as dietary approaches like a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet that can enhance mitochondrial function. It emphasizes the role of gut flora in digesting dietary fiber to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that further stimulates mitochondria. The narrative highlights dietary fiber as essential for promoting mitochondrial health and overall well-being.
