Objective: Gender and diet have an important effect in cardiovascular disease and other
aging-associated disorders, whose initiation and/or worsening seem to be delayed in …

In the present study, we have investigated gender differences in rat liver mitochondrial
oxidative metabolism. Total mitochondrial population (M) as well as the heavy (M1), medium …

Nowadays, still, the exact etiology of cancer remains to be uncovered. The understanding
that cancer results from uncontrolled proliferation of cells does not provide a solution to …

To investigate the possible existence of a gender dimorphism in the morphology and
functionality of brown adipose tissue (BAT) mitochondrial subpopulations, we obtained three …

Aging is responsible for the decline in the function of mitochondria and their increase in size
and number-adaptive mechanism to restore mitochondrial function. Estrogens increase …

Rat brown adipose tissue mitochondrial subpopulations—isolated by differential
centrifugation at 1000, 3000 and 8000g, giving the heavy, medium and light mitochondria …

The activity of telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase)
can be regulated by alternative splicing of its mRNA. The mechanism of hTERT splicing is …

Mitochondria cannot be created de novo, meaning that any new mitochondrion must be
formed from the division of an existing organelle. In addition to division, mitochondria also …

Mitochondrial biogenesis and function are essential for proper embryo development;
however, these processes have not been further studied during the placentation period …

In the current study, the mitochondrial proliferationdifferentiation process was investigated in
rat embryo during the placentation process, straight after organogenesis, when there is an …
