What Are the Clinical Implications of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Due to Toxins?
Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to a range of clinical manifestations, including neurological disorders, cardiomyopathies, and metabolic syndromes. For instance, exposure to mitochondrial toxins has been linked to the development of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, impaired mitochondrial respiration can contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic fatigue syndrome and other energy-deficiency conditions.
