نویسنده

  • Paula I. Moreira
چکیده

A growing body of evidence supports a clear association between Alzheimer's disease and diabetes and several mechanistic links have been revealed. This paper is mainly devoted to the discussion of the role of diabetes-associated mitochondrial defects in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The research experience and views of the author on this subject will be highlighted.

A Search for Mitochondrial Damage in Alzheimer’s Disease Using Isolated Rat Brain Mitochondria

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects regions of the brain that control cognition, memory, language, speech and awareness to one’s physical surroundings. The pathological initiation and progression of AD is highly complex and its prevalence is on the rise. In his study, Alzheimer's disease was induced with single injection of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides (...

Biophysical properties of single potassium channel in the brain mitochondrial inner membrane of male rat with Alzheimer’s disease

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by impairment of memory and changes in behavior and personality. Recent evidence suggests that mitochondrial channels play important roles in memory disorders. Accordingly, the biophysical properties of a single potassium channel were investigated in the brain mitochondrial inner membrane of rat with...

Mitochondria-Targeted Plastoquinone Antioxidant Skq1 Rescues Amyloid-Beta- Induced Impairment in Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity

Mitochondria-targeted antioxidants SkQ1 and MitoQ are known to improve a number of pathologic disorders mediated by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as heart ischemia, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease [1]. Evidence emerging from studies on aging and Alzheimer’s disease models shows that the harmful trio “aging, amyloidβ peptide (Aβ), and tau protein” triggers mitochondrial dysfunction. This...
