Описание: Many human genetic diseases associated with blood, brain, colon, ear, eye, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, and pancreas are caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA mutations have now been associated with aging as well as age-related degenerative diseases such as Parkinson`s, Alzheimer`s, and Huntington`s diseases.

Описание: For those like me who witnessed the beginning of the adventure of human mitochon- drial pathology, one can only be astounded by the extent and unexpectedness of what the field has come to offer. Extent because nobody could have imagined the sheer size of the domain. Unexpectedness because hitherto it was impossible to imagine the clinical polymorphism that this pathology would represent. The starting point was clear. Initially, there was the exceptional, and for a long time unique, observation of euthyroidian hypermetabolism that Luft and colleagues analyzed remarkably in biochemical and clinical terms. Thereafter, there was the support provided by the electron microscopy studies of Afzelius, and the very first visualization of mitochondrial abnormalities. That was way back in 1958. A few years later, progress in the cytology and cytochemistry of skeletal muscle tissue was to provide the means of detecting such abnormalities by examining sections with light microscopy. The colorful term "ragged red fibers", coined by W. K. Engel, became uni- versally accepted, and this typical aspect with Gomori trichrome stain was to throw light on the frequency with which these mitochondrial abnormalities could occur under pathological conditions which, until then, had remained a total mystery regard- ing their mechanism: syndromes such as the ocular myopathies with their descending evolution and the oculocraniosomatic syndromes. We were at the beginning of the 1970s.

Описание: This second edition brings together up-to-date contributionsfrom leaders in the field internationally on the various ways in whichmitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerativediseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiplesclerosis. The reader is guided through the basic functions of mitochondria andthe mechanisms that lead to their dysfunction, and on to the consequences ofthis dysfunction for neuronal function before finishing with the modelling ofthese disorders and discussion of new potential therapeutic targets. Additional chapters have been added to the book to reflectadvances in the field and there are many new contributors and topics, includinghow mitochondria are degraded and the interaction of the mitochondria withpathologically relevant proteins. Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disordersprovides an accessible, authoritative guide to this important area forneurologists; research and clinical neuroscientists; neuropathologists; andresidents with an interest in clinical research.

Описание: This book describes the nuclear encoded genes and their expressed proteins of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, showing how most of these occur in eukaryotic cells, but not in bacteria or archaea. Coverage includes mitochondrial genes and human disease.
Описание: This volume brings together various theories of how aberrations in mitochondrial function and morphology contribute to neurodegeneration in idiopathic and familial forms of Parkinson’s disease. Moreover, it comprehensively reviews the current search for therapies, and proposes how molecules are involved in specific functions as attractive therapeutic targets. It is expected to facilitate critical thought and discussion about the fundamental aspects of neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease and foster the development of therapeutic strategies among researchers and graduate students. Theories of idiopathic Parkinson’s etiology support roles for chronic inflammation and exposure to heavy metals or pesticides. Interestingly, as this project proposes, a case can be made that abnormalities in mitochondrial morphology and function are at the core of each of these theories. In fact, the most common approach to the generation of animal and cell-culture models of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease involves exposure to mitochondrial toxins. Even more compelling is the fact that most familial patients harbor genetic mutations that cause disruptions in normal mitochondrial morphology and function. While there remains to be no effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease, efforts to postpone, prevent and “cure” onset mitochondrial aberrations and neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson’s disease in various models are encouraging. While only about ten percent of Parkinson’s patients inherit disease-causing mutations, discovering common mechanisms by which familial forms of Parkinson’s disease manifest will likely shed light on the pathophysiology of the more common idiopathic form and provide insight to the general process of neurodegeneration, thus revealing therapeutic targets that will become more and more accessible as technology improves.
