Physiologically Induced Changes in Adrenocortical Mitochondria
1. Adrenocortical mitochondria contain filamentous or saccular internal membranes and are probably the sites of lipide elaboration or accumulation. They are numerous in the stimulated gland and scanty after hypophysectomy. There is evidence that they are expendable: light cells contain numbers of irregularly vacuolated and broken mitochondria with disorganized internal membranes. 2. Openings ha...
متن کاملHyperglycemia- and neuropathy-induced changes in mitochondria within sensory nerves
OBJECTIVE This study focused on altered mitochondrial dynamics as a potential mechanism for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We employed both an in vitro sensory neuron model and an in situ analysis of human intraepidermal nerve fibers (IENFs) from cutaneous biopsies to measure alterations in the size distribution of mitochondria as a result of hyperglycemia and diabetes, respectively. M...
متن کاملCannabinoid-induced changes in respiration of brain mitochondria.
Cannabinoids exert various biological effects that are either receptor-mediated or independent of receptor signaling. Mitochondrial effects of cannabinoids were interpreted either as non-receptor-mediated alteration of mitochondrial membranes, or as indirect consequences of activation of plasma membrane type 1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1). Recently, CB1 receptors were confirmed to be localized t...
متن کاملMitochondria are physiologically maintained at close to 50 °C
In endothermic species, heat released as a product of metabolism ensures stable internal temperature throughout the organism, despite varying environmental conditions. Mitochondria are major actors in this thermogenic process. Part of the energy released by the oxidation of respiratory substrates drives ATP synthesis and metabolite transport, but a substantial proportion is released as heat. Us...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes induced by ACTH in normal adrenocortical cells in culture
The effects of ACTH, its o-nitrophenyl sulfenyl derivative (NPS-ACTH) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbc AMP) on the ultrastructural morphology of adrenocortical cells of adult rats in monolayer culture have been investigated. NPS-ACTH, which has previously been shown to stimulate steroidogenesis but not cAMP synthesis in adrenal cells, induced the same characteristic transformation of mitochondrial...
