Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial function and toxicity: role of the B vitamin family on mitochondrial energy metabolism.
TL;DR: This review focuses on their essential role in maintaining mitochondrial function and on how mitochondria are compromised by a deficiency of any B vitamin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial function and toxicity: Role of B vitamins on the one-carbon transfer pathways
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge is covered and where this research field is heading is suggested so as to better understand the role vitamin Bs play in cellular function and intermediary metabolism as well as molecular, cellular and clinical consequences of vitamin deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial involvement in genetically determined transition metal toxicity: II. Copper toxicity
TL;DR: The evidence that mitochondria do indeed accumulate iron in several genetic disorders, and are a direct target for iron toxicity when it is present in excess, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fructose and carbonyl metabolites as endogenous toxins.
TL;DR: The toxicity of fructose towards hepatocytes is assessed and the molecular cytotoxic mechanisms involved are investigated and it is proposed that the highly potent Fenton derived ROS catalyse the oxidation of fructose and particularly its carbonyl metabolites glycolaldehyde, dihydroxyacetone, glyceraldehyde.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoprotective mechanisms of carbonyl scavenging drugs in isolated rat hepatocytes.
TL;DR: To determine the mechanism by which carbonyl scavenging drugs prevent glyoxal toxicity in a cell-free system as well as in isolated rat hepatocytes, the ability of the drugs was measured by following Glyoxal disappearance using Girard's Reagent T.
