Study reveals 5-aminolevulinic acid help fight against mitochondrial disor
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers discovered that 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) aids in the repair of deficits in Complex I (CI), the first in a series of protein complexes that transport electrons and help energise the mitochondria.
