Mitochondria (In Health and Disease) Diagram of mitochondrial ATP production showing how electron transport pumps protons into the intermembrane space, creating a proton and electrical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Protons then flow back into the negatively charged matrix through ATP synthase, which uses this flow to produce ATP. Oxygen accepts electrons at the end of the respiratory chain and is reduced to water.

  • About MitoSwab™

    MitoSwab™ is a non-invasive test that analyzes the power of the mitochondria. With a simple buccal mucosal swab, MitoSwab™ will analyze the components of the Electron Transport Chain. Additionally, it measures Citrate Synthase activity, which provides an indicator of the overall mitochondrial content within the cells.

    MitoSwab™ has an 84% correlation with the muscle biopsy, which is the current gold standard for the evaluation of mitochondrial dysfunction. The ease of using a buccal swab makes MitoSwab™ the first choice for the exploratory investigation of mitochondrial dysfunction.
