Comparison of Mitochondrial Phenotypes Across Cancers with Different Tissues of Origin
(East Carolina University, 2021-12-06)
Cancer metabolism is typically characterized by aerobic glycolysis, an increase in glucose uptake and lactate production despite adequate sufficient oxygen availability to support mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ...
Deciphering the impact of fructose metabolism on liver mitochondrial bioenergetics
(East Carolina University, 2021-12-07)
Since its discovery in 1980, the interest in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome, has expanded due to the growing impact on the world's health. Commonly characterized by ...
Linking energy state to redox environment through mitochondrial redox circuits
(East Carolina University, 2016-11-16)
Mitochondria are the primary producers of intracellular H2O2, an oxidant signaling molecule that has gained attention for its role in normal physiological processes and disease etiologies such as skeletal muscle insulin ...
Targeting the mitochondrial inner membrane to improve bioenergetics in the diseased heart
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Cardiovascular diseases continue to exact unparalleled economic and humanitarian costs across the globe. Manifestations of cardiovascular diseases include acute coronary syndromes and heart failure, both of which are ...
Cardioprotective mechanisms targeting thiol redox homeostasis and mitochondrial bioenergetics
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, totaled mostly by deaths associated with myocardial infarction and fatal ventricular arrhythmias. The inability to predict the occurrence of these ...
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ...
