Guests gathered at Talento Restaurant in Guadalajara on November 6, 2025, for Energy that Transforms, an immersive Mitozz event exploring the science of mitochondrial health, cellular energy, and longevity. Led by the Mitozz founding team, the evening blended education, conversation, and community around the idea that true vitality begins at the cellular level.

Dark Chocolate, Epicatechin, and Cellular Energy

Dark cocoa chocolate pieces rich in epicatechin, illustrating the cacao-derived compounds behind Mitozz’s approach to mitochondrial health, developed by Mani Agrawal, Guillermo Ceballos, and Francisco Villarreal.

Chocolate is often enjoyed for its flavor, but research into cocoa points to something deeper. Discover how epicatechin has been studied for its role in supporting how cells produce and manage energy.

Apelin Receptor Signaling and Biased Agonism

stack of textbooks representing peer-reviewed studies about (-)-epicatechin and mitochondria research

This paper identifies (-)-epicatechin as a biased ligand of the apelin receptor, supporting a receptor-mediated signaling mechanism that may help explain some of its vascular and metabolic effects.

eNOS Activation and Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathways

This study found that (-)-epicatechin activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase and increases nitric oxide signaling in endothelial cells, helping define a plausible endothelial mechanism for vascular benefit.
