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.

Respiratory chain dysfunction associated with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions in antiretroviral therapy-related lipodystrophy. [PDF]
Highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can induce a characteristic lipodystrophy syndrome characterized by peripheral fat wasting and central adiposity, usually associated with hyperlipidaemia and insulin resistance [1,2].

Desmin (DES) is a major muscle scaffolding protein that also functions to anchor mitochondria. Pathogenic DES mutations, however, have not previously been recognized as a cause of multi-systemic mitochondrial disease.

Equine atypical myopathy is a seasonal intoxication of grazing equids. In Europe, this poisoning is associated with the ingestion of toxins contained in the seeds and seedlings of the sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus).

Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

The redox cofactor FAD is essential for mitochondrial functionality: in the inner- membrane it ensures the activity of the respiratory chain complex II and of the ETF/ETFQO system, in the matrix the oxidation of pyruvate and other α-oxoacids as well ...

Anesthetic care for a child with undiagnosed myopathic/mitochondrial disease for gastrostomy tube placement and muscle biopsy. [PDF]
Disorders of the motor nerves, neuromuscular junction or muscle can affect children of all ages. These patients may present for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures (muscle and nerve biopsy) prior to arrival at a definitive diagnosis.

Mitochondrial myopathies [PDF]
Our understanding of mitochondrial diseases (defined restrictively as defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain) is expanding rapidly. In this review, I will give the latest information on disorders affecting predominantly or exclusively skeletal muscle.The most recently described mitochondrial myopathies are due to defects in nuclear DNA ...

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 ...

Reversible mitochondrial respiratory chain impairment during symptomatic hyperlactatemia associated with antiretroviral therapy [PDF]
Direct evidence confirming the hypothesis that a dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) underlies the pathogenesis of hyperlactatemia associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is scarce.
