摘要

Mitochondria, the power plants of cells, are essential for various cellular functions. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria form a network, called mitochondrial reticulum, which fuels muscle contractile and metabolic functions. The high degree of structure-to-function specialization of mitochondria in skeletal muscle implies that it is closely gauged and regulated to maintain energy production capacity to match the functional demands. The processes that regulate the overall structure and function of mitochondrial reticulum are collectively referred to as mitochondrial quality control. Mitochondrial quality control consists of mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics (i.e., fission and fusion), and selective degradation via proteolysis and mitophagy. In this chapter, we will discuss different aspects of contemporary understanding of mitochondrial quality control, their respective mechanisms, and their adaptability to exercise training.
