Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) : a novel target in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that reduced mitochondrial content and function in skeletal muscle are common features of type 2 diabetes. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of mitochondrial genes in skeletal muscle, focusing ...

Pay32p of the Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica Is an Intraperoxisomal Component of the Matrix Protein Translocation Machinery [PDF]
Pay mutants of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica fail to assemble functional peroxisomes. One mutant strain, pay32-1, has abnormally small peroxisomes that are often found in clusters surrounded by membranous material.

Treatment with a New Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Agonist, Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Derivative, Increases Angiogenesis and Reduces Inflammatory Mediators in the Heart of Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Mice [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi infection induces an intense inflammatory response in diverse host tissues. The immune response and the microvascular abnormalities associated with infection are crucial aspects in the generation of heart damage in Chagas disease.

Neurophysiological, behavioral and morphological abnormalities in the Fabry knockout mice
Fabry disease (OMIM 301500) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase gene (GLA). Loss of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) activity leads to the abnormal accumulation of glycosphingolipids in lysosomes predominantly of ...

The peroxisomal diseases, which are rare inborn metabolic errors, often have serious effects on the well being of the individual and many of them are fatal at an early age. The Zellweger cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome represents a group consisting of diseases with a generalized loss of peroxisomal functions and is considered as a prototype for ...

Characterization of the Peroxisomal Proteome and Redox Balance in Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines
Prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with disruptions in cellular redox balance. Given the intricate role of peroxisomes in redox metabolism, we conducted comprehensive proteomics analyses to compare peroxisomal and redox protein profiles between benign ...

Cytoprotective and Antioxidants in Peroxisomal Neurodegenerative Diseases
Several of the peroxisomal neurodegenerative disorders are the consequence of a specific deficiency of an enzyme or a transporter involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids [1,2].
