Respiratory failure as the prominent manifestation of entecavir-associated mitochondrial myopathy: a case report [PDF]
Background Mitochondrial myopathy caused by the long-term use of nucleos(t)ide analogue in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is mostly characterized by myasthenia and myalgia.

Mitochondrial myopathies [PDF]
The mitochondrial myopathies give rise to a diverse group of clinical syndromes, variably involving skeletal muscle and the central nervous system, with onset in childhood or adult life. In vitro studies of mitochondrial metabolism have identified a variety of functional defects of the respiratory chain, predominantly affecting complex I or complex III

Regular exercise attenuates alcoholic myopathy in zebrafish by modulating mitochondrial homeostasis.
Alcoholic myopathy is caused by chronic consumption of alcohol (ethanol) and is characterized by weakness and atrophy of skeletal muscle. Regular exercise is one of the important ways to prevent or alleviate skeletal muscle myopathy.

Statin-induced myopathic changes in primary human muscle cells and reversal by a prostaglandin F2 alpha analogue [PDF]
Statin-related muscle side effects are a constant healthcare problem since patient compliance is dependent on side effects. Statins reduce plasma cholesterol levels and can prevent secondary cardiovascular diseases.

A review of several myopathy related to mitochondrial dysfunction
The balance of protein production and consumption in muscles depends to a large extent on normal mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial dysfunction is inseparable from the occurrence of myopathy.

Mitochondrial Myopathies [PDF]
One of the great challenges in molecular biology is to understand the mechanisms by which a particular genetic defect gives rise to the disease or diseases associated with it. Mitochondrial myopathies are no exception. This review emphasizes some of the important mechanisms that can modify the phenotypic expression of the genetic disorders seen in ...
