Mitochondria are the source of ATP and reactive oxygen species and contributes to the process of ageing. how are the process of mitochondrial biogenesis and its role in ageing and longevity.
Mitochondrial biogenesis seems to be coupled to the degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria. If these processes become compromised this results in an imbalance between biogenesis and degradation so that damaged mitochondria accumulate in the cell. This is supposed to lead to cellular dysfunction and ultimately ageing.
