"Exercise training positively affects metabolic health through increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity and improved glucose regulation and is the first line of treatment in several metabolic diseases. However, the upper limit of the amount of...

SLC25A51 is a mammalian mitochondrial NAD+ transporter - Luongo et al
Abstract
Mitochondria require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in order to carry out the fundamental processes that fuel respiration and mediate cellular energy transduction. Mitochondrial NAD+ transporters have been...
This post on Phys.org just caught my eye. I didn't realize there was a distinct mitochondrial cycle for this essential part of cell metabolism. Here's the primary citation.
This is the first I have heard of MEPAN and the foundation to study it. This devastating disease could be a key to the...

Research hints that the energy-generating organelles of cells may play a surprisingly pivotal role in mediating anxiety and depression.
Saw this, thought of us. I'm not up to reading the paper (abstract and link below), so haven't assessed its quality, but the article in neuroscience news is interesting. Perhaps this sort of phenomenon might help to explain why an ME brain is particularly prone to falling over with too much...
