Mitochondria & Muscular Health
Findings from a 2023 study published in The American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology underscore that skeletal muscle is strongly dependent on mitochondrial integrity and the regulation of cellular senescence. This relationship becomes evident when either system is disrupted, as senescent cell accumulation can impede mitochondrial function, compromising muscle adaptability and systemic resilience.

Mitochondria & Dietary Fat
Results of an experimental animal study clarifying the role of mitochondria in the processing and transport of dietary lipids were recently published in Nature. The gastrointestinal consequences of impaired mitochondrial function are not well understood, and this study was done to shed light on the specific role played by mitochondria in lipid processing, potentially leading…

Mitochondrial Support & Heart Health
A study published in the American Journal of Cardiology examined the use of ubiquinol and/or D-ribose among participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Once referred to as diastolic heart failure, HFpEF represents at least half of all cases of heart failure (soon to be the predominant phenotype), with several well-established risk factors,…

Cardiorespiratory Fitness & Mitochondrial Function
An analysis of a 25-year observational study of the relationship between exercise testing and all-cause mortality was recently published online in the International Journal of Cardiology. Over 120,000 patients were included (at a mean age of 53.3), all having undergone some type of stress testing after being referred to the Cleveland clinic for a variety…

Boost Your Athleticism with Magnesium
During exercise, magnesium (Mg) is dispersed throughout the body, and utilized where it’s needed most. Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 600 enzymatic reactions, responsible for building tissue and bone, as well as being a conduit for the nervous system. Magnesium is found in every cell in the body and has a critical role…
