Fatty acid oxidation and photoreceptor metabolic needs

Fatty acid oxidation and photoreceptor metabolic needs

Photoreceptors have high energy demands and a high density of mitochondria that produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) of fuel substrates. Although glucose is the major fuel for CNS brain neurons, in photoreceptors (also CNS), most glucose is not metabolized through OXPHOS but is ins...
