mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the main causative factors in a wide variety of complications such as neurodegenerative disorders, ischemia/reperfusion, aging process, and septic shock. decrease in respiratory complex activity, increase in free radical production, increase in mitochondrial synthase activity, increase in nitric oxide production, and impair in electron transport system and/or...

introduction: recently depleted uranium is being widely used as anti-armour ammunition and at very high temperature, results in information of an aerosol of very small uranium oxide particles, which may be inhaled. it is alleged that these particles represent a new battlefield hazard because of the chemical toxicology and/or radioactivity. method & materials: male wistar strain albino rats were...

Purpose: In this study, we assumed that treating animals with an antidepressant agents or voluntary running wheel exercise (RW) during adolescence may have protective effects against early life stress (ELS) which can impact on behavior and mitochondrial function. Evidence indicates that ELS has deleterious effects on brain and behavior and increases the risk of mental disorders such as depressi...

a 9 bp deletion between cytochrome oxidase subunit ii and trna lys genes in mitochondrial dna, has proven to be an extremely informative marker for tracing population history. using the pcr-page and pcr-sscp techniques in this study, 152 dna samples collected from iranian populations were screened for the 9 bp deletion. no deletion was observed. a length polymorphism, most probably a 9 bp tripl...

mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtdna) polymorphisms were examinedin bone samples of individuals buried inan early neolithic (c. 5800–4900 bce) hunter-gatherer cemetery, shamanka ii, located atthe southwestern tip of lake baikal, siberia. the mainobjective was to compare the mtdna polymorphisms observed at shamanka ii to those previously reportedfrom the lokomotiv (early neolithic) and ust...
