Journal ArticleDOI

mtDNA Haplogroup X: An Ancient Link between Europe/Western Asia and North America?

TL;DR: Time estimates for the arrival of X in North America are 12,000-36,000 years ago, thus supporting the conclusion that the peoples harboring haplogroup X were among the original founders of Native American populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Function, Biology, and Role in Disease A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

TL;DR: This statement will define the key roles that mitochondria play in cardiovascular physiology and disease and provide insight into how mitochondrial defects can contribute to cardiovascular disease; it will also discuss potential biomarkers of mitochondrial disease and suggest potential novel therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lifespan Extension and Rescue of Spongiform Encephalopathy in Superoxide Dismutase 2 Nullizygous Mice Treated with Superoxide Dismutase–Catalase Mimetics

TL;DR: It is shown that treatment of sod2 nullizygous mice with synthetic superoxide dismutase (SOD)–catalase mimetics extends their lifespan by threefold, rescues the spongiform encephalopathy, and attenuates mitochondrial defects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marked changes in mitochondrial DNA deletion levels in Alzheimer brains

TL;DR: The hypothesis that OXPHOS defects resulting from somatic mtDNA mutations may play a role in AD pathophysiology is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria and cancer: Warburg addressed.

TL;DR: It now appears that cancer cells generate excessive lactate in the presence of oxygen is the product of two factors: a return to the more glycolytic metabolism of the embryo and alterations in oxidative phosphorylation to increase mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
