Mitochondrial health is an indicator of overall cell health

Healthy mitochondria exhibit a difference in electrical potential across the lipid bilayer that surrounds them, and some fluorescent dyes will accumulate inside mitochondria as long as this potential difference is maintained.

Have always felt it was a dimming! Or, more parasitic...like a theft of light energy! The mitochondria need the lipid bilayer to be highly charged. Something is stopping that from happening. Crystalization???

Now i am confused! Amorphous is less crystalized? Right? Good or bad? In terms of giving mitochondria the right electric charge

In response The Mac to his Publication

ok, now i have to read all these! But, the ceramic thing caught my attention! It’s something with calcium! And other things, im sure! Salts!

In response The Mac to his Publication

Yes, makes things less amorphous! I am sure there is a word for that!
