A member asked:
What role does the cellular respiration cycle atp - adp - atp play within the body? are there known factors to improve or inhibit this function? in conditions such as mitochondrial disease, do useful lab tests and proven potential treatments exist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Energy source : ATP is used as the energy carrier for cells . The ATP , ADP cycle recycles these , making ATP from ADP and phosphate . It can be boosted with fatty acids and proteins in the diet ,but excessive wt gain lowers energy levels. Important tests in mitochondrial disease include the ATP profile. Treatments being tried , include COQ10, and LCarnitine , creatine and experimental drugs.
