Mitochondrial Dysfunction & Neurological Disorders
Most of the living organisms derive their energy requirements from ingested food material through controlled metabolic reactions. Prokaryotes like bacteria obtain the ATP, the energy subunit from series of enzymatic reactions which occur in the cytosol [1]. In contrast to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have evolved a highly specialized double membrane organelles i.e., mitochondria encompassing electro...
متن کاملEncyclopedia of Neurological Disorders: Mitochondrial Myopathies
Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular disorders that result from defects in the function of the mitochondrion, a small organelle located inside many cells that are responsible for fulfilling energy requirements of the tissue. These structures serve as "power plants" and are particularly important for providing energy for both muscle and brain function due to the large requiremen...
متن کاملStatins in Neurological Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Value
Statins are well-tolerated, mainstay drugs in cardiovascular risk management. In addition to their cholesterol-lowering properties, statins also have anti-inflammatory, vasculoprotective, and antioxidant effects. They have also been associated in some epidemiologic studies with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and a link between cholesterol and late-onset AD has been documented. Experi...
متن کاملHypotheses on Mechanisms Linking Cardiovascular and Psychiatric/Neurological Disorders
This special issue of Cardiovascular Psychiatry and Neurology marks its first year since we launched the open access journal dedicated to publishing original preclinical/basic and research on biological mechanisms of and treatments for co-occurring cardiovascular disorders and disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). As suggested earlier (by the paper entitled " The heart-brain connection...
متن کاملDisorders of reproduction in patients with epilepsy: Primary neurological mechanisms
Reproductive disorders are unusually common among women and men with epilepsy. They are generally associated with and may be the consequence of reproductive endocrine disorders. Both epilepsy itself and antiepileptic drug use have been implicated in their pathophysiology. This review focuses on how temporolimbic dysfunction in epilepsy may disrupt normal neuroendocrine regulation and promote th...
