Phytochemicals differentially modulate mitochondrial bioenergetics: roles of F1FO-ATPase, respiratory complexes, and mPTP opening.
Phytochemicals can modulate mitochondrial function, but their specific actions on bioenergetic pathways are not fully defined. Here, isolated mitochondria were exposed to three phytocompounds, S-allyl cysteine (SAC), benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), and epicatechin (EPC), and key mitochondrial parameters were assessed, in...
