As we age, our mitochondria become less efficient at producing energy, which directly affects the availability of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that provides energy for cellular functions. In a preliminary study, scientists used a technique called phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) to measure ATP levels in the frontal and posterior regions of the […]
