Mitochondrial superoxide radicals differentially affect muscle activity and neural function.
Cellular superoxide radicals (O(2)(-)) are mostly generated during mitochondrial oxygen metabolism. O(2)(-) serves as the raw material for many reactive oxygen species (ROS) members like H(2)O(2) and OH(.-) radicals following its catalysis by superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes and also by autocatalysis (autodismutation) reactions. Mitochondrial ROS generation could have serious implications on ...
متن کاملMitochondrial Superoxide Radicals and MnSOD
Mitochondria were isolated from skin fibroblast cultures derived from healthy individuals (controls) and from a group patients with complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase) deficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The complex I deficient patients included those with fatal infantile lactic acidosis (FILA), cardiomyopathy with cataracts (CC), hepatopathy with tubulopathy (HT), Leigh’s disease (LD...
متن کاملPlectin isoform P1b and P1d deficiencies differentially affect mitochondrial morphology and function in skeletal muscle
Plectin, a versatile 500-kDa cytolinker protein, is essential for muscle fiber integrity and function. The most common disease caused by mutations in the human plectin gene, epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD), is characterized by severe skin blistering and progressive muscular dystrophy. Besides displaying pathological desmin-positive protein aggregates and degenerat...
متن کاملResponses of Muscle Mitochondrial Function to Physical Activity: A Literature Review
Skeletal muscles play an active role in regulating the metabolic homeostasis through their ability for relating to adipose tissue and endocrine hormones. Contraction of the skeletal muscle leads to increased release of several myokines, such as irisin, which is able to interact with the adipose tissue. Physical activity promotes the irisin mechanism by augmenting the peroxisomes (PGC1-α) in the...
متن کاملMitochondrial superoxide and aging: uncoupling-protein activity and superoxide production.
Mitochondria are a major source of superoxide, formed by the one-electron reduction of oxygen during electron transport. Superoxide initiates oxidative damage to phospholipids, proteins and nucleic acids. This damage may be a major cause of degenerative disease and aging. In isolated mitochondria, superoxide production on the matrix side of the membrane is particularly high during reversed elec...
