Oxidative stress induces MPT by targeting specific cysteine residues of cyclophillin D, which results in mitochondrial depolarization, oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling, release of intra-mitochondrial ions and metabolic intermediates, mitochondrial swelling and decrease in ATP synthesis
Focus on a diet rich in sulfur-containing foods like garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables
While some ROS act as signaling molecules under physiological conditions, excess production disrupts redox homeostasis and damages proteins, lipids, and DNA ( Mitochondria are the primary source of intracellular ROS, primarily generated during electron transfer through complexes I-IV of the electron transport chain (ETC) (Michaelson et al., 2013)
