Modeling the mitochondrial dysfunction in neurogenerative diseases due to high H+ concentration

چکیده
Considering the latest researches, disruptions in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, low energy production, increased reactive oxygen species and mtDNA damage are relevant to human diseases, mainly in neurogenerative diseases and cancer. This article represents inner mitochondrial membrane as a natural superconductor giving also the corresponding mathematical model; nevertheless the creation of electric complexes into the inner mitochondrial membrane due to the unusual concentration of protons disrupts the normal flow of electrons and the production of ATP. Therefore, we propose the term 'electric thromboses' for the explanation of these inadequate electrons' flow, presenting simultaneously a natural mechanism of this important and unique phenomenon.

Background and purpose: Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally existing polyphenolic compound abundantly found in grapes and several plants. It has potent free radical scavenger and antioxidative properties with significant effects in reducing oxidative damage. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to PQ induced tissue damage. In this study, the protective effect of RSV was invest...
متن کاملToxicity mechanisms of Cigarette Smoke on Eye and Kidney using Isolated Mitochondria
Cigarette smoking is one of the main risk factors for premature human death associated to a variety of respiratory and vascular diseases, and cancer due to containing Hundreds of toxicants. Rat mitochondria were obtained by differential ultracentrifugation and incubated with different concentrations (1, 10 and 100%) of standardized cigarette smoke extract (CSE). Our results showed that cigarett...

Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction is the most common problem of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). The pathological mechanism of cognitive impairment in AD may contribute to neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction, and alteration in neurotransmitters receptors. Mitochondrial synapses dysfunction due to the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is one of the earliest pathological features of AD. Th...
متن کاملA Stochastic Approach of Mitochondrial Dynamics
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles, capable to interact with each other. While the number of mitochondria in a cell varies, their quality and functionality depends on the operation of fusion, fission, motility and mitophagy. Nowadays, several researches declare as an important factor in neurogenerative diseases the disruptions in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. In this paper a stocha...
متن کاملModelling mitochondrial dysfunction in mice.
Understanding mitochondrial role in normal physiology and pathological conditions has proven to be of high importance as mitochondrial dysfunction is connected with a number of disorders as well as some of the most common diseases (e.g. diabetes or Parkinson's disease). Modeling mitochondrial dysfunction has been difficult mainly due to unique features of mitochondrial genetics. Here we discuss...
