In Vivo Correction of COX Deficiency by Activation of the AMPK/PGC-1α Axis
Increased mitochondrial biogenesis by activation of PPAR- or AMPK/PGC-1α-dependent homeostatic pathways has been proposed as a treatment for mitochondrial disease. We tested this hypothesis on three recombinant mouse models characterized by defective cytochrome c-oxidase (COX) activity: a knockout (KO) mouse for Surf1, a knockout/knockin mouse for Sco2,

The impact of IgG subclass deficiency on the risk of mortality in hospitalized patients with COPD
Background Immunoglobulin G (IgG) deficiency increases the risk of acute exacerbations and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the impact of IgG subclass deficiency on mortality in COPD is unknown.

Association between Vitamin C Deficiency and Mortality in Patients with Septic Shock
The prognostic value of low vitamin C levels has not been well investigated in patients with septic shock. We aimed to evaluate the association of vitamin C deficiency with mortality in patients with septic shock. We conducted a retrospective analysis of

Additive effects of obesity and vitamin D insufficiency on all-cause and cause-specific mortality
Obesity and vitamin D deficiency are both considered risk factors for mortality, but the potential additive effects of vitamin D status and obesity on mortality has not been well-studied.

NMDA-induced seizure intensity is enhanced in COX-2 deficient mice [PDF]
Pharmacological inhibition or genetic deletion of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, but not COX-1, has been shown to increase susceptibility to kainic acid (KA)-induced excitotoxicity. However, it is unclear if susceptibility to excitotoxins that act through other neurotransmitter receptors is altered by COX-2 inhibition. To further understand the involvement of

Upregulation of Mitochondrial Content in Cytochrome c Oxidase Deficient Fibroblasts. [PDF]
Cytochrome-c-oxidase (COX) deficiency is a frequent cause of mitochondrial disease and is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes. We studied mitochondrial function and biogenesis in fibroblasts derived from the Cohen (CDs) rat, an animal ...
