Mitochondria dysfunction and neurodegenerative disorders: cause or consequence.
Mitochondria are crucial regulators of energy metabolism and apoptotic pathways and have been closely linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this review we mainly focus on mitochondrial dysfunction in two of the most prevalent neurological disorders: Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. We discuss whether the role of mitochondria in those diseases should be consid...
متن کاملPsychological disorders in gastrointestinal disease: epiphenomenon, cause or consequence?
BACKGROUND Psychological disorders have been associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for decades in the absence of other objective etiology. However, such associations are also evident in other chronic diseases with more clearly defined pathogenesis such as ulcerative colitis. In this study, we examined the prevalence and severity of psychological disorders among IBS and ulcerative colit...
متن کاملDendritic spine pathology: cause or consequence of neurological disorders?
Altered dendritic spines are characteristic of traumatized or diseased brain. Two general categories of spine pathology can be distinguished: pathologies of distribution and pathologies of ultrastructure. Pathologies of spine distribution affect many spines along the dendrites of a neuron and include altered spine numbers, distorted spine shapes, and abnormal loci of spine origin on the neuron....
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders.
There is compelling evidence for the direct involvement of mitochondria in certain neurodegenerative disorders, such as Morbus Parkinson, FRDA (Friedreich's ataxia), ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and temporal lobe epilepsy with Ammon's horn sclerosis. This evidence includes the direct genetic evidence of pathogenic mutations in mitochondrial proteins in inherited Parkinsonism {such as PA...
متن کاملAutophagy and apoptosis dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders
Autophagy and apoptosis are basic physiologic processes contributing to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Autophagy encompasses pathways that target long-lived cytosolic proteins and damaged organelles. It involves a sequential set of events including double membrane formation, elongation, vesicle maturation and finally delivery of the targeted materials to the lysosome. Apoptotic cell d...
