Abstract
Mitochondria are intracellular organelles that generate the principal source of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In a highly efficient process, mitochondria convert both carbohydrate and fat into high-energy phosphate compounds by a series of intermediate steps involving electron transfer. Emerging data implicate mitochondrial damage and dysfunction as critical factors in the pathogenesis of sepsis.
