But the study says the increasing demands for energy producion by the stressor leads to DNA leakage. I dont think it says that inference with energy production leads to DNA leakage.
True, the study actually says that just exposure to stress is enough to flood blood with DNA from mitochondria. I was just proposing the explanation of why that happens. What is known is that stress increases demand for energy and if the mitochondria cannot meat that demand they get damaged and die, thus ending up in the bloodstream. I don't have direct evidence that increasing ATP synthesis (thus meeting the energetic demands of stress) will protect the cell but there are quite a few studies showing pro-metabolic things like thyroid, MB, progesterone, etc all protect cells from apoptosis induced by stress. So, given that a major effect of all these chemicals is to increase ATP synthesis, what else do you think can be going on that protects the cells?
Finally, Peat has mentioned many times that energetic abundance is what keeps the cell together since the cell is not a bag of fluid but a gel structure that depends on energy for integrity. Given that ATP is the cardinal structural protector in both Ling's and Peat's writings, then it seems like a very likely candidate. I also posted a few studies showing that liver disease is due to ATP depletion and replenishing ATP with precursors like inosine reverses the damage. So, the explanation is pretty consistent so far.
