Aging is associated with a decline in mitochondrial function. What would you expect to see when you stimulate beta-cells isolated from aged mice with glucose compared to the same experiment in beta-cells from young mice? increased oxygen consumption in the aged beta-cells decreased levels of intracellular potassium in the aged beta-cells increased levels of intracellular calcium in the aged beta-cells )increased levels of insulin secretion in the aged beta-cells beta-cell function will not differ between the aged and young beta-cells

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
