Performance-enhancing effects of dietary nucleotides: do mitochondria play a role?
Journal Title: Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Nucleotides are group of natural biomonomeric molecules and novel dietary supplements with performance-enhancing attributes. However, their mechanisms of action and target biological structures are poorly understood and identified. This short paper overviews the possible role of mitochondria during the utilization of nucleotides for exercise performance. Mitochondriarelated effects of nucleotides have been identified, along with obstacles for dietary nucleotides delivery to the organelle.
