“Folate is a very important B vitamin ... being one of the key nutrients for proper mitochondrial function, helping to transport fatty acids into mitochondria where they are used to generate ...

Feeling tired after meals could indicate postprandial fatigue, often caused by nutritional gaps. We got in touch with experts who suggest aligning your diet with the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA ...

In the new study, the team focused on a mitochondrial defect that damages the organelles’ “transporter” molecules. Without this transfer RNA, mitochondria can’t make the proteins that are essential ...

Since mammals cannot synthesize folate de novo, they depend on specific transport mechanisms to absorb it from their diet. Recent research has focused on understanding these transport mechanisms ...

New research at the University of Alberta may make it easier to diagnose serious diseases that disrupt the body's energy ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial ...

The causes are largely unknown, but a new study points to a link involving a chromosomal microdeletion -- and also underscores the value of folic acid as a preventive ... Adding Folic Acid to ...

MTX acts as a folate antagonist and interrupts the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, as well as the remethylation of homocysteine to form methionine, and multiple methyltransferase enzymes.

Researchers from the University of Bergen, for the first time, show how mitochondria act as “reservoirs” to hold NAD, which plays an important role in creating energy in the body. Scientists ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National ...

The mitochondrial carrier SLC25A2 transports Pi across the mitochondrial inner membrane to support ATP synthesis. Other transporter families, such as SLC37, are also implicated in Pi flux, although ...
