  15. “Variation of the mitochondrial genome has been also studied as possible source of incomplete penetrance. In fact, constitutive variants defining mtDNA haplogroup J have been found to increase penetrance in families with the m.11778G>A and, more consistently, with the m.14484T>C mutations.” #dna #isogg #mtdna #mitochondrial #haplogroupj

  24. #Space Travel Damages #Astronauts At The Cellular Level
    #Mitochondrial damage is causing accelerated a#ging in astronauts and could hamper long-term space missions
    The report produced by the Guy Foundation, an independent British research foundation, cited multiple causes behind the cellular damage: #radiation and #zerogravity. While residents on the International Space Station exercise constantly to stave off muscle and bone loss, there’s no workout to help your cells.

  43. The human gut microbiome

    Influences #health and #disease through metabolic, immune, and neurobehavioral pathways. The composition of #gut #microbiota is affected by diet, drugs, and environment.

    Athletes can boost performance by optimizing their gut microbiome, which affects mitochondrial health.

    #Fiber, polyphenols, and healthy fats boost #microbiome and #mitochondrial function, while ultra-processed foods harm gut health. Fermented foods and #probiotics can restore it.
