In biological processes the direction an ion will move by diffusion or active transport across membrane is determined by the electrochemical gradient. In mitochondria and chloroplasts, proton gradients are used to generate a chemiosmotic potential that is also known as a proton motive force.
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.
