Mitochondria's Role in Gene Expression and the Stress Response
59:16 - 1:36:31 (37:14)
Mitochondria have a greater impact on gene expression and the stress response than previously realized, which was determined when mitochondria were genetically modified and all major aspects of the stress response were impacted. Fasting and fasting-mimicking diets hyper-stimulate autophagy, a process that can aid in longevity and allocate resources more conservatively in the body.

Mitochondria are emerging as an important factor in mental health as they play a crucial role in the production of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, managing calcium regulation and ATP to ADP or AMP levels, and all aspects of the human stress response including inflammation and gene expression.

Mitophagy is a type of autophagy that is specific to mitochondria, resulting in the selective degradation of old or defective mitochondria.

Summary
Mitophagy is a type of autophagy that is specific to mitochondria, resulting in the selective degradation of old or defective mitochondria. Autophagy is a cellular recycling process that is stimulated by fasting and calorie restriction, leading to the degradation of old or dead cellular components to be used for energy or building new things.
