One thing I was thinking about was the transformation of isolated Mitochondrion into something larger, where the synergy allowed, presumably, a selective advantage.<br /><br />Are you familiar with the work of Jeremy England http://www.englandlab.com/ he is exploring the energy dynamics involved in the original transition from inanimate to animate matter through entropy. Turns out the most efficient way to dump excess energy back into the environment is to replicate. Seems to me at this point in evolution his ideas may be closer to the dynamics than Darwins.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next segment.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566361944570795169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-33977667426958963102016-01-18T19:53:09.056-05:002016-01-18T19:53:09.056-05:00Hmmmm, Back to the Future I think.

It takes time for the body to ramp up mitochondrial biogenesis, and also make enough of the enzymes involved in using fats & ketones. When you're in that in-between stage, yes, probably some fatigue, hunger, irritability, etc. But eventually, the body catches up. But I don't think there are many ways to get the mitochondria prepped ahead of time. Mostly, they become more efficient when they *have to,* like when there's very little glucose coming into the body from food, and they have no choice but to start getting better at the other pathways. But exercise can help stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis -- use 'em or lose 'em. We've got to give the mits a *reason* to stick around and stay healthy.Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-91547141629874689922014-12-06T20:15:52.727-05:002014-12-06T20:15:52.727-05:00Thanks for letting me know.

The issue of cells not using fats and ketones effectively if the mitochondria are not numerous or functionally correctly.....sounds to me as if this would also (apart from the cancer link) have implications in terms of being a fat burner vs sugar burner, and perhaps a need to get mitochondria healthy before taking a high fat route...is that something that is addressed through diet and appropriate exercise? If mitochondria are not "right" and you went on a high fat diet, what would the consequences be...fatigue, weight gain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-11445594986006216302014-12-05T07:55:58.602-05:002014-12-05T07:55:58.602-05:00Keep going Amy, there's more than two people w...Keep going Amy, there's more than two people who are fascinated by this.

We want to complement you, Amy, for a superbly understandable description of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.<br /><br />We urge all of you who are reading this to tweet everyone you know to follow this series. If you know statistics - the information presented here may someday save your life or that of a friend. The study of cancer as a metabolic disease is the only hope that it will ultimately be recognized as another chronic inflammatory disease that is amenable to complete cure as well as prevention.<br /><br />Incidentally, we were delighted that you mentioned that mitochondria were once little independent critters. We were surprised when we learned that mitochondria evolved as little furnaces well BEFORE the advent of life itself.<br /><br />Keep heart, Amy. All of this hard, but vital task will NOT be in vain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-33636765569570463212014-12-04T17:32:31.112-05:002014-12-04T17:32:31.112-05:00Thanks so much!
