Phylogeography of the human mitochondrial haplogroup L3e: a snapshot of African prehistory and Atlantic slave trade.
The mtDNA haplogroup L3e, which is identified by the restriction site +2349 MboI within the Afro-Eurasian superhaplogroup L3 (-3592 HpaI), is omnipresent in Africa but virtually absent in Eurasia (except for neighbouring areas with limited genetic exchange). L3e was hitherto poorly characterised in terms of HVS-I motifs, as the ancestral HVS-I type of L3e cannot be distinguished from the putati...
متن کاملDoes Prolactin Indicate Severity of Psoriasis?
Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic and inflammatory disease of skin that its etiology is not completely known. However, it seems that genetic and environmental factors play a role in this disease. In vitro studies show that prolactin as a neurohormone has an etiologic effect on psoriasis. This study aimed to compare serum prolactin levels in psoriatic patients with control group...
متن کاملLetter to the editor: "Does a reduction in ADP-limited respiration indicate impaired mitochondrial function?".
REPLY: We would like to address the letter by Schwarzer and Doenst (4), regarding our recent study (2) investigating the differential influence of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus on interfibrillar and subsarcolemmal mitochondria in mice. This study identified a multitude of differential responses associated with the diabetic phenotype, which included cardiac contractile abnormalities, ...
متن کاملAncient mitochondrial DNA provides high-resolution time scale of the peopling of the Americas
The exact timing, route, and process of the initial peopling of the Americas remains uncertain despite much research. Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of humans as far as southern Chile by 14.6 thousand years ago (ka), shortly after the Pleistocene ice sheets blocking access from eastern Beringia began to retreat. Genetic estimates of the timing and route of entry have been constr...
متن کاملThe Q2 Mitochondrial Haplogroup in Oceania
Many details surrounding the origins of the peoples of Oceania remain to be resolved, and as a step towards this we report seven new complete mitochondrial genomes from the Q2a haplogroup, from Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Kiribati. This brings the total to eleven Q2 genomes now available. The Q haplogroup (that includes Q2) is an old and diverse lineage in Near Oceania, and is reasonably common;...
