Mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurodegenerative diseases are a large group of disabling disorders of the nervous system, characterized by the relative selective death of neuronal subtypes. In most cases, there is overwhelming evidence of impaired mitochondrial function as a causative factor in these diseases. More recently, evidence has emerged for impaired mitochondrial dynamics (shape, size, fission-fusion, distribution, ...
متن کاملOlfactory Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases
INTRODUCTION Olfactory impairment is a common occurrence in aging and may be an early signal of neurodegenerative diseases. Olfactory loss caused by aging and diseases affects both quality of life and personal safety. Aging, as well as viral infections, neurodegenerative diseases, head injuries, chronic sinusitis infections and nasal obstructions are the most common causes of olfactory disorder...
متن کاملVenous dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases
Quantitative measurement of geometrical and physiological properties of blood vessels in the retina may indicate early stages of brain and systemic diseases in an efficient and cost-effective way. Retinal vasculature is brain vasculature, and can be imaged easily at high resolution with optical fundus or OCT cameras. Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, as in diabetes, leads to marked vascular...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative Diseases and Olfactory Dysfunction
The olfactory sensory network is a unique brain system. Among human sensory systems, only olfaction has a direct connection to the brain and no thalamic relay. In terms of tissue and cellular repair, the olfactory system is unusual, along with the hippocampal dentate gyrus, as an example of central nervous tissue in which neurogenesis persists. Additionally, olfaction has been shown to have an ...
متن کاملRiboflavin Responsive Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Mitochondria are the repository for various metabolites involved in diverse energy-generating processes, like the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides, which rely significantly on flavoenzymes, such as oxidases, reductases, and dehydrogenases. Flavoenzymes are functionally dependent on biologically active flavin adenine dinucleotide (...
