چکیده

Mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly associated with aging. A recent study shows that reduced nuclear SIRT1 activity initiates age-related mitochondrial decline through a signaling pathway that perturbs expression of genes encoded by mitochondrial DNA. This reversible pathway has potential anti-aging therapeutic value.

Repeated Administration of Mercury Accelerates Progression of Multiple Sclerosis through Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative and autoimmune disease that it’s molecular etiology and factors involving in its progression remains unknown. In this study for evaluation effect of mercuric on progression of MS we investigated the additive effect of mercuric sulfide on the brain mitochondrial dysfunction in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS in C57BL/6 mi...

اثرات محافظتی رسوراترول در برابر اختلال عملکرد میتوکندریایی ناشی از پاراکوات

Background and purpose: Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally existing polyphenolic compound abundantly found in grapes and several plants. It has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidative properties with significant effects in reducing oxidative damage. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to PQ induced tissue damage. In this study, the protective effect of RSV was invest...

Increased Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Altered Protein Accumulation – Association with Aging

2008), Drosophila (Simonsen et al., 2008) and yeast (Alvers et al., 2009) have shown that lifespan in these organisms was extended when autophagy was upregulated, which could improve cellular ability to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria (i.e. stimulate mitophagy). Alternatively/additionally, mitochondrial dysfunction increases generation of oxygen free-radicals and related reactive oxygen sp...

Mitochondrial Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Protection by Beta-Glucan

Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...
