This paper reports on a correlation between diminished cardiolipin content and the severity of steatohepatitis in human subjects. This is supported further by experimental evidence from mice in which ...

And given its high electronegativity, oxygen usually serves as the final station on this electron transport chain, accepting the electrons and picking up two protons to form water.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as an important mechanism of disease and redox signaling in the cardiovascular system. Under basal or pathological conditions, electron leakage ...

The electron transport chain - the third stage of aerobic respiration. The third stage of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain (ETC).. The ETC uses a series of protein molecules ...

INTRODUCTION. The electron transport chain (ETC) is made up of protein complexes embedded in the thylakoid membrane. The main components are photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI), connected in ...

The current study highlights a co-repressor role of PHF8 that epigenetically licenses ETC (electron transport chain) gene transcription and mROS (mitochondrial reactive oxygen species) production to ...

The electron transport chain (ETC) comprises five protein complexes found in the inner membrane of mitochondria. The components of the electron transport chain are arranged in order of their redox ...

As the team explained in their paper, “Although tumor growth requires the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), the relative contribution of complex I (CI) and complex II (CII), the ...

A new study suggests electron transport chains—a metabolism system that creates usable energy—may have been present in Earth’s prebiotic minerals and sea water.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated when the electrons move through the complex I-IV in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), and some of them leak out to molecular oxygen (O 2) to ...

Mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) dysfunction due to mutations in the nuclear or mitochondrial genome is a common cause of metabolic disease in humans and displays striking tissue ...
