Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mitochondria are considered prokaryotes that are symbiotic to eukaryotic cells. They age quickly, within weeks. Unhealthy and aged mitochondria cause cellular dysfunction, inducing immune attack and elevating inflammation in tissues. Exercise is a natural challenge that eliminates weak mitochondria through mitophagy and inducing mitochondrial biogenesis. The influence of diet on this process is a key topic in human health. 

Our aim for this Special Issue is to gather new findings on how exercise and dietary interventions influence mitochondrial health, to expand on the current knowledge in this field.
