Mitochondrial Membrane
Potential The mitochondrial membrane potential (??m) refers to the voltage difference between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. It is critical for the functioning of mitochondria, as it is necessary for ATP production and cellular respiration. Additionally, research has shown that disruptions to the mitochondrial membrane potential can have negative impacts, leading to various diseases and metabolic dysfunction. To understand the roles of ??m in the body, scientists have developed various tools to measure and control mitochondrial membrane potential. These tools are important in aiding the development of treatments for diseases related to mitochondrial dysfunction.
