Nutrient availability links mitochondria, apoptosis, and obesity
Mitochondria are the dominant source of the cellular energy requirements through oxidative phosphorylation, but they are also central players in apoptosis. Nutrient availability may have been the main evolutionary driving force behind these opposite mitochondrial functions: production of energy to sustain life and release of apoptotic proteins to trigger cell death. Here, we explore the link be...
متن کاملLinks between complement deficiency and apoptosis
Deficiency in the classical pathway complement components displays a hierarchical association with the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In addition, SLE causes consumption of complement. C1q- and C4-deficient mice develop a lupus-like disease and exhibit impaired clearance of apoptotic cells. The autoantigens targeted in SLE have been localised to the surface of apoptotic cell...
متن کاملPlacental mTOR links maternal nutrient availability to fetal growth.
The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signalling pathway functions as a nutrient sensor, both in individual cells and, more globally, in organs such as the fat body in Drosophila and the hypothalamus in the rat. The activity of placental amino acid transporters is decreased in IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), and recent experimental evidence suggests that these changes contribute dire...
متن کاملApoptosis in Embryonic Development
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a mechanism in embryonic development that occurs naturally in organisms. Apoptosis is a different process from cell necrosis, which is uncontrolled cell death usually after infection or specific trauma. As cells rapidly proliferate during development, some of them undergo apoptosis [3], which is necessary for many stages in development, including neural d...
متن کاملNutrient availability, the microbiome, and intestinal transport during pregnancy.
Adequate adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract is important during pregnancy to ensure that the increased metabolic demands by the developing fetus are met. These include changes in surface area mediated by villus hypertrophy and enhanced functional capacity of individual nutrient receptors, including those transporting glucose, fructose, leucine, and calcium. These processes are regulated e...
