What they found is that the DNA is related to the mitochondrial genome of Denisovans, extinct relatives of Neandertals who lived primarily in Asia, not Europe.

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Sperm pass on none of their mitochondria during conception, so all mitochondrial information is transferred from generation to generation through mothers alone.

A coenzyme that exists in all living cells, NAD+ plays a central role in the body’s biological processes, such as regulating cellular energy, increasing insulin sensitivity and reversing mitochondrial dysfunction.
