Disorders of mitochondrial function [PDF]
Mitochondrial diseases are a major category of childhood illness that produce a wide variety of symptoms and multisystemic disorders. This review highlights recent clinically important developments in diagnostic evaluation and treatment of mitochondrial diseases.Major advances have been made in understanding the genetic bases of mitochondrial diseases.

PINK1 in mitochondrial function [PDF]
Rare, inherited mutations causing familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) have provided much insight into some of the molecular mechanisms that underlie both the genetic and sporadic forms of the disease. The role of mitochondria in sporadic PD has been debated for a little over 20 years, since the identification of complex I deficiency in the ...

Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) ketogenic diets increase ketone bodies, which are believed to act as alternative energy substrates in the injured brain. Octanoic (C8:0) and decanoic (C10:0) acids, which produce ketone bodies through β-oxidation, are used

Mitochondrial form and function [PDF]
Mitochondria are one of the major ancient endomembrane systems in eukaryotic cells. Owing to their ability to produce ATP through respiration, they became a driving force in evolution. As an essential step in the process of eukaryotic evolution, the size of the mitochondrial chromosome was drastically reduced, and the behaviour of mitochondria within ...

Mitochondrial Function in Sepsis [PDF]
Mitochondria are an essential part of the cellular infrastructure, being the primary site for high-energy adenosine triphosphate production through oxidative phosphorylation. Clearly, in severe systemic inflammatory states, like sepsis, cellular metabolism is usually altered, and end organ dysfunction is not only common, but also predictive of long ...

Telomeres and Mitochondrial Function [PDF]
### Telomere Dysfunction Induces Metabolic and Mitochondrial Compromise Sahin et al Nature. 2011;470:359–365. A new study provides insight into aging and age-related diseases by linking telomere dysfunction to a decline in mitochondrial number and function.
