{"product_id":"the-mitochondrion-in-aging-and-john-binnington-9781646475278","title":"The Mitochondrion in Aging and Disease","description":"The mitochondrion is a double-membrane-bound cell organelle, which is responsible for processing oxygen and converting food substances into energy. It is essential for cellular bioenergetics and consequently plays a significant role in aging related energy deterioration. Aging is a natural biological process, which occurs in all living organisms and is characterized by declining bioenergetics. A loss of mitochondrial activity and quality is also linked with the development of a variety of age-related diseases. Aging has a negative effect on the mitochondrial heath, as it creates imbalances in the main mitochondrial-regulated pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs when the mitochondrion fails to function properly as a result of another disease or condition. Secondary mitochondrial dysfunction may be caused by a variety of diseases including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the role of mitochondrion in aging and disease. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Binnington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646475275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646475278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hayle Medical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.63d","brand":"John Binnington","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476903977215,"sku":"9781646475278","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a39f421-cfce-45f6-b592-9b8979511367.jpg?v=1715918496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mitochondrion-in-aging-and-john-binnington-9781646475278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
