Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated to depressed brain energy supply and impaired cortical and hippocampal synaptic function. It was previously reported in McGill-R-Thy1-APP transgenic (Tg(+/+)) rats that Aβ deposition ...

Synaptic function and the role of mitochondria inside nerve terminals can be studied by the isolation of an enriched fraction of synaptosomes, which consist in nerve ending particles that are formed during homogenization ...

Lantana (Lantana camara Linn.) is a noxious weed to which certain medicinal properties have been attributed, but its ingestion has been reported to be highly toxic to animals and humans, especially in the liver. The main ...

Synaptic bioenergetic deficiencies may be associated with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). To explore this concept, we assessed pre-synaptic mitochondrial function in hemizygous (+/-)TgMcGill-R-Thy1-APP rats. The low burden ...

Bioenergetic analysis may be applied in order to predict microbial growth yields, based on the Gibbs energy dissipation and mass conservation principles of the overall growth reaction. The bioenergetics of the photoautotrophic ...

In this study, we characterized the bioenergetic response of the Lund human mesencephalic (LUHMES) cell line and a mouse astrocyte cell line to oxidative stress. Extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels and bioenergetic ...
