Mitochondrial membrane potential [PDF]
Analytical Biochemistry, 2018 The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) generated by proton pumps (Complexes I, III and IV) is an essential component in the process of energy storage during oxidative phosphorylation. Together with the proton gradient (ΔpH), ΔΨm forms the transmembrane potential of hydrogen ions which is harnessed to make ATP.

Calcium‐ and voltage‐driven atrial alternans: Insight from [Ca]i and Vm asynchrony
Physiological Reports, 2023 Cardiac alternans is defined as beat‐to‐beat alternations in contraction strength, action potential duration (APD), and Ca transient (CaT) amplitude. Cardiac excitation–contraction coupling relies on the activity of two bidirectionally coupled excitable ...

Lipophilic Cations Rescue the Growth of Yeast under the Conditions of Glycolysis Overflow
Biomolecules, 2020 Chemicals inducing a mild decrease in the ATP/ADP ratio are considered as caloric restriction mimetics as well as treatments against obesity. Screening for such chemicals in animal model systems requires a lot of time and labor. Here, we present a system

Effect of sodium humate on membrane potential in internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Membrane potential and resistance changes in Nitellopsis obtusa induced by Na-humate as a function of external pH were investigated. The administration of Na-humate at concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg dm-3 brought about a hyperpolarization of ...

Light/Clock Influences Membrane Potential Dynamics to Regulate Sleep States
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 The circadian rhythm is a fundamental process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. This rhythm is regulated by core clock genes that oscillate to create a physiological rhythm of circadian neuronal activity.
