Understanding UVB Light and Mitochondria

UVB light makes vitamin D. Where's the vitamin D

receptor on the inner mitochondrial membrane?

Between complex three and four. So what does that mean?

It interrupts electron flow.

Mm-hmm.

So what's the purpose of UVB light?

It's actually to decrease the amount of electrons that go through.

So in other words, it's to clear the bottleneck.

What clears the bottleneck on the front end? NAD, UVA light.

That's the photosynthetic light, and if you look at it, you force

guys like David Sinclair to go in and get an EPR machine and,

and, uh, a spectrum machine. You know what you find out?

That NAD is a fluorophore protein, 340

nanometer light. It's UVA light. Do you understand now why this

Marcus inversion story is a big deal?

'Cause your non-visual photoreceptor that works with your mitochondria

tells you that it's not just about near-infrared light that's this complex

four story. That's what guys like Fosbury,

Shiholt, the- they've got everybody believing it's a

red, red, red light story.

How do you clear the car crash? You gotta have UVA light.

Mm-hmm.

You gotta have 380 nanometer light.

You have to have them both together.

You have to be that UVB to stop electrons

from bombarding the ATPase. So when you look

at the wiring diagram

of the inner mitochondrial membrane, it's all photosynthetic
