Improper mitochondrial membrane structure impairs mitochondrial metabolism and function, including transport to nerve endings.

“And when they depleted rats of sulfur and they looked at like their liver mitochondria, I mean, the structure of them was like there was huge holes in the structure. And so, if your... membrane structure is not proper, your mitochondrial metabolism's... not gonna be proper. And if your mitochondria aren't working properly when they're traveling during...down the long axons to get to the synaptic cleft where they're, you know, needed to make energy for nerve transmission, I mean, they're not gonna get there.”
