Researchers identify sodium's role in cellular energy production and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, with potential implications for Parkinson's.
Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares have found that sodium plays a key role in cellular energy production, specifically through its transport activity in mitochondrial complex I.
This mechanism contributes significantly to ATP generation and offers insights into Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
The study suggests sodium-proton transport defects may also be linked to other neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's, paving the way for targeted treatments.
