In plain language
In human brain tissue, lithium raised respiratory chain complex I+III and II+III activity in a dose-dependent way, peaking at 1 mM. A direct measurement in human tissue that ties lithium to mitochondrial energy production, which is the cellular layer underneath the neuroprotection signal.
