Experimental evidence for reproduction to increase mitochondrial respiration, but decrease mitochondrial efficiency, in females of a short-lived bird
2025-05-15
Abstract excerpt
Reproduction is generally considered as one of the most energy-demanding processes, causing a trade-off with survival. Although this “cost of reproduction” plays a pivotal role in theory on ageing and life-history evolution, the physiological mechanisms underlying it remain largely unresolved. As mitochondria synthesize 90% of the energy available to eukaryotic cells, their functioning may be crucial in mediating...
