Proline reduces brain cytochrome c oxidase: prevention by antioxidants
International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2007 In the present study, we initially investigated the in vivo (acute and chronic) and in vitro effects of proline on cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) activity in rat cerebral cortex to test the hypothesis that proline might alter energy metabolism and ...

Proline oxidase silencing induces proline-dependent pro-survival pathways in MCF-7 cells. [PDF]
Oncotarget, 2018 Proline degradation by proline dehydrogenase/proline oxidase (PRODH/POX) contributes to apoptosis or autophagy. The identification of specific pathway of apoptosis/survival regulation is the aim of this study. We generated knocked-down PRODH/POX MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7shPRODH/POX). PRODH/POX silencing did not affect cell viability. However, it
