Deficient mitochondrial biogenesis in critical illness: cause, effect, or epiphenomenon?
Recent studies indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis of a number of disease states. The importance of these organelles in shock and multiple organ dysfunction is of particular interest to those caring for the critically ill. Mitochondria have their own unique DNA (mtDNA) that encodes 13 essential subunits of electron transport chain enzymes, two ribosomal RNAs...
متن کاملPsychological disorders in gastrointestinal disease: epiphenomenon, cause or consequence?
BACKGROUND Psychological disorders have been associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for decades in the absence of other objective etiology. However, such associations are also evident in other chronic diseases with more clearly defined pathogenesis such as ulcerative colitis. In this study, we examined the prevalence and severity of psychological disorders among IBS and ulcerative colit...
متن کاملMitochondrial biogenesis in fast skeletal muscle of CK deficient mice.
Creatine kinase (CK) is a phosphotransfer kinase that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate moiety between ADP and creatine and that is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. In fast glycolytic skeletal muscle, deletion of the cytosolic M isoform of CK in mice (M-CK-/-) leads to a massive increase in the oxidative capacity and of mitochondrial volume. This study was aimed at investigat...
متن کاملValproic acid triggers increased mitochondrial biogenesis in POLG-deficient fibroblasts
Valproic acid (VPA) is a widely used antiepileptic drug and also prescribed to treat migraine, chronic headache and bipolar disorder. Although it is usually well tolerated, a severe hepatotoxic reaction has been repeatedly reported after VPA administration. A profound toxic reaction on administration of VPA has been observed in several patients carrying POLG mutations, and heterozygous genetic ...
متن کاملMenopause: Adaptation or Epiphenomenon?
Evolutionary biologists consider all complex design features of organisms to be ultimately the result of natural selection. As such, menopause can always be considered an adaptation. At the same time, it is also recognized that an adaptation is always morphologically, physiologically, and developmentally constrained by an organism’s phylogenetic heritage.18 The question of origin is whether men...
