Searching for alternative toxicology testing systems: The response of isolated mitochondria from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, potato tuber, and mouse liver to a toxic insult [PDF]
Mitochondria are cellular power plants known as essential organelles for energy (ATP) metabolism. However, today it is evident that various vital compounds are partially or exclusively synthesized in mitochondria. Moreover, this organelle plays a pivotal

Mitochondrial disease in flies
The Drosophila mutant technical knockout (tko), affecting the mitochondrial protein synthetic apparatus, exhibits respiratory chain deficiency and a phenotype resembling various features of mitochondrial disease in humans (paralytic seizures, deafness, developmental retardation).

Neuropathology of mitochondrial diseases
The term “mitochondrial diseases” (MD) refers to a group of disorders related to respiratory chain dysfunction. Clinical features are usually extremely heterogeneous because MD may involve several tissues with different degrees of severity. Muscle and brain are mostly affected, probably because of their high dependence on oxidative metabolism.

Targeting NAD+ Metabolism as Interventions for Mitochondrial Disease
Leigh syndrome is a mitochondrial disease characterized by neurological disorders, metabolic abnormality and premature death. There is no cure for Leigh syndrome; therefore, new therapeutic targets are urgently needed. In Ndufs4-KO mice, a mouse model of

By convention, the term "mitochondrial diseases" refers to disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is the only metabolic pathway in the cell that is under the dual control of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and the nuclear genome (nDNA).

Prevalence of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA mutations related to adult mitochondrial disease
The prevalence of mitochondrial disease has proven difficult to establish, predominantly as a result of clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The phenotypic spectrum of mitochondrial disease has expanded significantly since the original reports that ...

Mitochondria contain the respiratory chain enzyme complexes that carry out oxidative phosphorylation and produce the main part of cellular energy in the form of ATP. Although several proteins related with signalling, assembling, transporting, and enzymatic function can be impaired in mitochondrial diseases, most frequently the activity of the ...
