Extractions: Mitochondria are considered to be the "power houses" of the cells in our body. Their job is to convert the glucose from the food we eat into energy that can be utilized by the cell. The mitochondria know to do this because they have their own DNA, which differs from nuclear DNA, and to complicate matters, each cell in our body has anywhere from 1-500 mitochondria! The organs that require the most energy, therefore, have the most mitochondria are the brain, heart, eyes, and muscle tissue. These tissues are the most severely affected, resulting in progressive weakness until they are no longer able to function. KSS is a degenerative disease that is taking Ryan's cognitive intelligence, sight, hearing, and strength increasingly away.
