Description
The ATP Profile determines the total ATP production and allows for a quantitative comparison of the cells’ energy engines – mitochondria and glycolysis – in a basal state.
The ATP Profile consists of the following markers:
- Total adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
- Mitochondrial ATP capacity
- Glycolytic ATP capacity
- Reserve ATP capacity
The Mitochondrial Health Index (MHI) can be used to measure improvement in mitochondrial function, and to help identify where the block to optimal functioning might lie.
The MHI consists of the following markers:
- Basal respiration rate
- mitochondrial ATP turnover
- proton leak
- maximum respiration rate
- reserve capacity
- non-mitochondrial rate
- calculation of the overall Mitochondrial Health Index.
