Breathe: Your Mitochondria Will Do the Rest … If They Are Healthy!

Breathe: Your Mitochondria Will Do the Rest… If They Are Healthy! Cell Metab. 2019 Oct 01;30(4):628-629 Authors: Viscomi C, Zeviani M Abstract Dysfunctions of the mitochondrial electron transport chain cause severe, currently untreatable, diseases in humans. A new study by Jain et al. (2019) reports increased oxygen levels in the brain of complex-I-deficient mice. Reducing the O2 levels by hypoxia, carbon monoxide, or anemia, improved the clinical phenotype and prolonged the lifespan of the mouse model. PMID: 31577932 [PubMed - in process]
