  1. Mitochondrial diseases shorten lifespan in humans.

    “Patients with primary mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) defects present with fatigue and multi-system disorders, are often lean, and die prematurely”

    Review

    OxPhos defects cause hypermetabolism and reduce lifespan in cells and in patients with mitochondrial diseases

1 study
  1. Mitochondrial diseases increase resting energy expenditure in humans.

    “these disorders increase resting energy expenditure, a state termed hypermetabolism.”
