The smooth ER is where some lipids, phospholipids, and steroids are synthesized and some protein folding and processing occur. Mitochondria use a process called the Krebs cycle to generate energy for ...
The researchers found that the neurons had a disrupted Krebs cycle—the cellular process in mitochondria that produces most of the body's crucial molecular power source, ATP. The team pinpointed ...
There are four protein complexes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, called complex I, II, III, and IV (Fig. 6). When glucose is metabolized through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA ...
