  1. 1. Metabolic Crisis Induced by Antiepileptic Drugs in Patients with Mitochondrial Epilepsy : The Effect of Valproic Acid, Topiramate and Propofol on Mitochondrial Function

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Angelica Dahlgren; [2023]
    Keywords : ATP; epilepsy; mitochondria; oxygen consumption; propofol; topiramate; valproic acid;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are important cytosolic organelles present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. The main function of mitochondria are to generate the vast majority of ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design and production of adeno-associated virus vectors for imaging mitochondrial networks in the brain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elnaz Samadian Zad; [2023]
    Keywords : adeno-associated virus; mitochondria; mitochondrial networks; imaging; fluorescent protein; synapsin promoter; human embryonic kidney cells; organoids;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that function in a complex interconnected network within the cell. Neurons are sensitive and highly energy demanding cells in the brain which require a functioning mitochondrial network that is able to provide ATP and modulate calcium. READ MORE

  4. 3. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hur mitokondriens funktion påverkar åldrande

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Tilde Hall Hansson; [2023]
    Keywords : mitokondriens funktion; mitokondriell dysfunktion; åldrande; reaktiva syreradikaler; mitokondriella DNA mutationer; cellåldrande; stamcellers funktion; mitofagi; inflammation; mitokondriens; oveckade proteinrespons;

    Abstract : Åldrande är en oundviklig företeelse i livet som karaktäriseras av progressiv förlust av fysiologisk integritet. Åldrande påverkas av både yttre och inre faktorer och leder till nedsatt funktion och ökad risk för sjukdom och dödlighet. READ MORE

  6. 5. METABOLIC CRISIS IN humans WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DIABETES : DEVELOPMENT OF AN EX VIVO MODEL IN HUMAN BLOOD CELLS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTI-DIABETics

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Filippa Dahlgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Anti-diabetics; ATP-production; Metabolic crisis; Mitochondrial diabetes; Respiration;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are found in all cells of the body except red blood cells. Mitochondria is the organelle that produces the most ATP in the body, which is the cells energy carrier. All processes in the body require energy in one way or another, hence the function of mitochondria is very important. READ MORE
