This process, in which energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to drive cellular work such as the synthesis of ATP, is called chemiosmosis. We have previously used the word osmosis in discussing water transport, but here it refers to the flow of H+ across a membrane.
Caldeira da Silva and Cerqueira suggest that mitochondrial uncoupling is an effective mimic of CR. In mitochondria, the electron transport chain uses electrons from glucose and lipids to pump protons across a membrane. This proton gradient can be used to make energy in the form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.The process is kind of like generating hydropower.he interesting thing about uncouplers is that they actually increase the pumping of protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane. The animals metabolize more fat and pump more protons to make up for the fact that the proton gradient is being depleted without making ATP. This brings us back to the activity question.
