Mitochondrial myopathies: deficiencies localized to complex I and complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
Deficiencies of the mitochondrial respiratory chain or the phosphorylation system are becoming increasingly recognized causes of myopathy and multisystem disease in man. In biochemical terms, the ones most clearly defined have been associated with impaired activities of NADH : ubiquinone reductase (Morgan-Hughes el al., 1979, 1984; Land et al., 1981; Moreadith etal., 1984), ubiquino1:cytochrome...
متن کاملDysfunction of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I in human failing myocardium is not due to disturbed mitochondrial gene expression.
OBJECTIVES Activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes with and without mitochondrially encoded subunits was assessed in failing human myocardium together with parameters of mitochondrial gene expression. BACKGROUND Mutations and deletions in mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) sporadically accumulate in the aging myocardium. In experimental heart failure, they are discussed to be a genera...
متن کاملMitochondrial complex I deficiency: from organelle dysfunction to clinical disease.
Mitochondria are essential for cellular bioenergetics by way of energy production in the form of ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This crucial task is executed by five multi-protein complexes of which mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase or complex I is the largest and most complicated one. During recent years, mutations in nuclear genes encoding structural subunits...
متن کاملMitochondrial respiratory dysfunction due to the conversion of substituted cathinones to methylbenzamides in SH-SY5Y cells
The increased use of cathinone-type designer drugs, known as legal highs, has led to concerns about their potential neurotoxicity due to their similarity to methamphetamine (METH). Therefore, closer investigations of their toxic effects are needed. We investigated the effects of the cathinones 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethcathinone (MDMC) and the amphetamine METH on c...
متن کاملRelationship of Air Pollution and Daily Hospital Admissions Due to Respiratory Disease: A Time Series Analysis
Introduction: Air pollutants and respiratory diseases have a significant relationship and cause major health problems. Low attention has been paid to the daily hospital admissions due to the presence of pollutants in desert cities such as Yazd city, Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the short-term relationship between air pollution and daily hospital admissions due to respiratory...
