Recent advances in thermoelectric power generation: Stand-alone and gridconnected applications
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011)
Thermal power generation based on solid-state devices such as thermoelectric generators (TEG) has emerged as a potential alternative for clean energy generation, due mainly to their distinctive advantages such as technology ...
Drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and neurotoxicity
(Nova Science Publishers, 2019)
Mitochondria exerts numerous physiological functions such as energy production and maintainance of calcium homeostasis. The brain is a tissue highly dependent on energy production; 20% of total oxygen consumption is used ...
Aminoacids requirement and metabolism by lactic acid bacteria
(Transworld Research Network, 2008)
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have numerous nutritional requirements for growth, especially nitrogen sources. The amino acid requirements appear to be strain dependent in Oenococcus oeni strains isolated from wines. By contrast ...
Brain calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial function
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
The high efficiency of the neuronal calcium signaling depends on the calcium distribution in intracellular stores such as ER, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria, in association with changes in ionic gradients across their ...
Use of Furan Derivatives Acting as Electrophilic Dienophiles: An Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of Polar Cycloaddition Reactions
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)
Furans have, fundamentally, biological and chemical uses. For several years, we have been working with substituted furans as eletrophilic dienophiles joint to different nucleophilic dienes in Polar Diels-Alder Reactions ...
Brain mitochondria bioenergetics, nitrergic and neurotensinergic systems
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
Mitochondria display a central role in cellular activity, being essential for energetic metabolism, Ca2+ homeostasis and cell signalling. The brain is one of the organs with the highest oxygen consumption of the human body, ...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Cardiovascular Disease
(Springer, 2019)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the maincause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, despite the evolution of treatments and revascularization strategies.Obesity, also accompanied by a chronicinflammatory ...
Synaptosome Bioenergetics and Calcium Handling: Aging Response
(Humana Press, 2018)
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 ...
Redox signal transduction in plant metabolism
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)
The advent of oxygenic photosynthesis was probably the second major event in the history of life on our planet, after the inception of life itself. The ability to use staples such as water and light as energy sources for ...
