2) Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cells. Mitochondrial respiration refers to the process by which cells generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the oxidation of glucose and other molecules. It plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism
3) and overall cellular function.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCS), which include various immune cells, exhibit changes in mitochondrial function in individuals with long COVID.
These alterations in mitochondrial respiration can manifest as decreased ATP production
