Mitochondrial carriers are nuclear-encoded proteins, which translocate solutes across the inner mitochondrial membrane. functional as monomers and have six TM alpha-helices termini in intermembrane space.

results the results reveal that pq can decrease mitochondrial viability, deplete gsh content, increase mitochondrial ros formation, and enhance lpo and mitochondrial membrane damage. the pretreatment of mitochondria with ng has the ability to reduce the toxic effects of pq in isolated mitochondria. background paraquat (pq) is a dipyridyl herbicide that sustains damage due to redox cycling. an i...

In this research, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanisms of Cochlodinium polykrikoidescell lysate on isolated rat liver hepatocytes.This micro algae is responsible for a severe and widespread harmful algal bloom in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (2008-2009). Isolated hepatocytes were obtained by collagenase perfusion of Sprague-Dawley rat liver.According to our results, incubation of algal...

arsenic exposure mainly through food and water has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of numerous cancers and non-cancer harmful health. it is also used in cancer chemotherapy and treatment of several cancer types due to its apoptogenic effects in the various cancer and normal cell lines. we have already reported that liver is the storage site and important target organ in as ...

sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection. sepsis, which can lead to severe sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, is an important cause of mortality. pathogenesis is extremely complex. in recent years, cell hypoxia caused by mitochondrial dysfunction has become a hot research field. sepsis damages the structure and function of mitochondria,conversely, mito...

Introduction: Different ATP-sensitive potassium channels have been detected in the mitochondrial inner membrane of cells. They are suggested to be involved in cell processes including cell protection. Here, we characterized the biophysical and electropharmacological properties of a KATP channel in the brain mitochondrial inner membranes. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain...

Background and Objective: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which is associated with extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques. AD is accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and energy metabolism reduction. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an endogenous polypeptide which its beneficial effects have been demonstrated on mitochondrial function, energy m...

mitochondria are membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, which known as power house in cells. this organelle transforms energy into forms that are usable by the cell. the most common psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety can be linked to mitochondrial disorders. furthermore, mutations of mitochondrial or nuclear dna (mtdna and ndna, respectively) have been lin...
