Uncoupling can protect mitochondria by reducing internal pressure and stress. Mitochondrial uncoupling separates oxidation and oxygen consumption from ATP production. Uncoupling dissipates some proton-gradient energy as heat instead of capturing all of it as ATP. The article frames ketogenic fat loss as controlled fuel wasting rather than efficient fat burning. Excessive mitochondrial uncoupling can be dangerous.
