Insect mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ranges from 14 to 19 kbp, and the size difference is attributed AT-rich control region. Jewel wasps have a parasitoid lifestyle, which may affect mitochondria function evolution. We sequenced, assembled, annotated genomes in Nasonia outgroup species. Gene composition order are conserved within Nasonia, but they differ other parasitoids by two large inversion eve...

A Thai plant Clitoria macrophylla Wall. was claimed to possess some pharmacological activities. The phytochemical studies reported a rotenoid compound, 6-deoxyclitoriacetal, which exhibits the cytotoxic effect in several cell line experiments. This report was to study the effect of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal on rat liver mitochondria, which may associated to its cytotoxic phenomena. Mitochondrial sus...

The TiO2, which is a main material in the field of photocatalytic reactions, includes rutile and anatase phase. Titanium dioxide has possessed notice due to its promising applications in the environmental photocatalytic degradation of pollutants of organic compound in waste water and utilization of solar energy. The nanosized manganese titanate (pyrophanite) MnTiO3 was collected by oxidation of...

The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 plays an apparent dual physiological role by participating in activation and proliferation of leukocytes as well promoting apoptosis several types tumor cells. Therefore, is considered a potential pharmacological target for immunodeficiency cancer. Different cellular locations Kv1.3, at the plasma membrane or mitochondria, could be responsible such dual...

Abstract Mitochondria evolved through an ancient endosymbiotic process and are essential for eukaryotic cellular metabolism. An emerging body of literature indicates that some cells export mitochondria delivery to other cells, a termed intercellular transfer. Recently, we demonstrated adipocytes transfer macrophages in vivo this maintains white brown adipose tissue homeostasis (Brestoff et al.,...

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...

Maternal smoking has been recognized as a common cause of low birth weight, preterm birth and the decrease of gestational age period. Unfortunately, there is an increasing interest within public especially woman in Iran in the tobacco products consumption. On the other hand, the deleterious effect of maternal smoking on human fetus in pregnancy period especially in the first trimester encourage...
