A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Its name is derived from the Greek nouns telos (τέλος) ‘end’ and merοs (μέρος, root: μερ-) ‘part.’ For vertebrates, the sequence of nucleotides in telomeresContinue reading “Aging, Telomeres, Vit C, E and Betacarotene”

Acute myocardial infarction; imbalance during ischemia-reperfusion ; mitochondrial energy adaption in cancer, obesity and metabolic disorders
Acute myocardial infarction is characterized by changes in biochemical properties during ischemia and reperfusion. The heart can survive a short period of ischemia by reducing myocardial contractility, increasing glucose uptake, and switching metabolism to glycolysis. However, considering that the heart is one of the most energy-demanding tissues in the body, sustained oxygen and nutrient deprivationContinue reading “Acute myocardial infarction; imbalance during ischemia-reperfusion ; mitochondrial energy adaption in cancer, obesity and metabolic disorders”
