How & Why Mitochondria Make Their Own Fat | Sara Nowinski | 263
Send us a text Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is a little-known but essential pathway that supports energy production and metabolic health. Summary: Dr. Sara Nowinski explains how mitochondria not only burn fuels to make ATP but also synthesize their own fatty acids inside the matrix; this conserved pathway produces lipoic acid (an essential enzyme cofactor) and longer-chain fats required for proper assembly of the electron transport chain, and disrupting it impairs respiration, glucose h...
