Rats had a bright red laser beam shined on their heads for 15 minutes and then the respiratory enzymes of the Krebs cycle was studied. The changes were consistent with enhanced respiration. (A.T. Pikulev, et al., Radiobiology 24(1):29-34, 1984). -Ray Peat, PhD Radiobiologiia. 1984 Jan-Feb;24(1):29-34. [Enzyme activity of glutamic acid metabolism and the Krebs cycle [...]

The least stable n-3 fats which accumulate with age and gradually reduce energy production also have their short term effects on endurance. Endurance was much lower in rats fed a high n-3 fat dit, and the effect persisted even after 6 weeks on a standard diet (Ayre and Hulbert, 1997). -Ray Peat, PhD Lipids. 1997 [...]
Therapeutically, even powerful toxins that block the glycolytic enzymes can improve functions in a variety of organic disturbances “associated with” (caused by) excessive production of lactic acid…But several nontoxic therapies can do the same things: Palmitate (formed from sugar under the influence of thyroid hormone, and found in coconut oil), vitamin B1, biotin, lipoic acid, [...]

Also see: Glucocorticoids, Cytochrome Oxidase, and Metabolism Fat Deficient Animals – Activity of Cytochrome Oxidase Cytochrome oxidase is one of the enzymes damaged by stress and by blue light, and activated or restored by red light, thyroid, and progesterone. It’s a copper enzyme, so it’s likely to be damaged by excess iron. It is most [...]
FEBS Lett. 1998 Sep 11;435(1):25-8. Glucocorticoids decrease cytochrome c oxidase activity of isolated rat kidney mitochondria. Simon N, Jolliet P, Morin C, Zini R, Urien S, Tillement JP. The importance of mitochondria is rising as a target in pathologic processes such as ischemia. We have investigated the effects of hydrocortisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone and triamcinolone on [...]
A crucial enzyme in the mitochondrion is cytochrome oxidase, which reacts directly with oxygen, completing (or beginning) the process of chemical respiration. It is this enzyme (which is most sensitive to cyanide) which appears to be a “choke point” for energy production in various situations. Learning how to preserve and promote the activity of this [...]
