Postnatal Mitochondrial Differentiation in the Newborn Rat

  • Chapter
Endocrine and Biochemical Development of the Fetus and Neonate

Part of the book series: Reproductive Biology ((RBIO))

Abstract

During mammalian development an important aspect of cell metabolism is that related with the pathway of energy provision, because, in one way or another, the rest of metabolic pathways and cellular functions depend on an efficient supply of energy. It is in the mitochondria where energy is generated by the oxidation of cellular substrates into its useful form of ATP. Cells devoid of, or which contain a poorly developed mitochondria, rely on the less efficient anaerobic glycolysis for harnessing their ATP needs.
