Energy Production Through the Kreb’s Cycle

Kreb's Cycle Energy

The Kreb’s Cycle is an essential pathway for the complete metabolism off all foods. It is a critical component for energy production in the cell.

Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP) is the Energy Currency for the Cell

glycolysis

ATP is the energy currency of the cell and is produced through metabolism of Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats.

Oxidative Damage Explained

If you looked at the ETS then you know that oxygen is essential for adequate energy production. It accepts the electrons generated in glycolysis and Kreb’s. However, oxygen can also be detrimental. Free radicals are produced from exposure to one of several factors. Inflammation, radiation (i.e. x-rays), aging, high pO2, smog (such as ozone or [...]
