Sumario: | Considering the latest researches, disruptions in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, low energy production, increased reactive oxygen species and mtDNA damage are relevant to human diseases, mainly in neurogenerative diseases and cancer. This article represents inner mitochondrial membrane as a natural superconductor giving also the corresponding mathematical model; nevertheless the creation of electric complexes into the inner mitochondrial membrane due to the unusual concentration of protons disrupts the normal flow of electrons and the production of ATP. Therefore, we propose the term ‘electric thromboses’ for the explanation of these inadequate electrons’ flow, presenting simultaneously a natural mechanism of this important and unique phenomenon. |
