How exercise reduces the risk of diseases
Exercise reduces disease risk through cellular responses. Scientist Ryan Montalvo investigates how exercise-induced stress benefits health. He studies mitochondria, the cell's powerhouses, and their adaptation to stress. The research focuses on AMP-activated protein kinase, or AMPK, which signals energy demand. This enzyme helps mitochondria produce ATP efficiently. Understanding mitoAMPK activation may prevent chronic diseases like diabetes.
