What Happens When Cellular Energy Production is Compromised?
Compromised energy production can lead to various pathological conditions. For example, mitochondrial dysfunction can result in reduced ATP production, leading to cellular injury and death. In tissues, this manifests as impaired function and structure. Histological examination can reveal such changes, including cellular atrophy, necrosis, and inflammation, aiding in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders and mitochondrial diseases.
