Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which cells increase mitochondrial numbers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was first described by John Holloszy in the 1960s, when it was discovered that physical endurance training induced higher mitochondrial content levels, leading to greater glucose uptake by muscles. [ 3 ]
PGC-1α provides a direct link between external physiological stimuli and the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, and is a major factor causing slow-twitch rather than fast-twitch muscle fiber types. [10] Endurance exercise has been shown to activate the PGC-1α gene in human skeletal muscle. [11]
The amount of mitochondria per cell also varies by cell type, with some examples being: Erythrocytes: 0 mitochondria per cell. [1] Lymphocytes: 3 mitochondria per cell. [7] Egg cell: Mature metaphase II egg cells can contain 100,000 mitochondria, and 50,000–1,500,000 copies of the mitochondrial genome (corresponding to up to 90% of the egg ...
Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is essential for cellular respiration and mitochondrial biogenesis. [31] A role as a mediator in intracellular signal transduction is also assumed, as the levels of bioactive lipids, such as lysophospholipids and sphingolipids , correlate with mtFASII.
[31] [32] The mitochondrial carrier signature, Px[D/E]xx[K/R], of carriers is probably involved both in the biogenesis and in the transport activity of these proteins. [33] A homologue has been identified in the mimivirus genome and shown to be a transporter for dATP and dTTP. [34] Examples of transported compounds include: citrate – SLC25A1
A Florida mother was arrested for saying the phrase “Delay, Deny, Depose” — in an apparent reference to the targeted UnitedHealthcare CEO killing — on a call to a health insurance company ...
Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. [1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to ...
The NFC South isn't exactly charging into the playoffs. History won't remember that, only that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got the job done. It was far from the sure thing it was supposed to be.
