Hepatic lipid accumulation is associated with multiple metabolic pathway alterations but not dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
Am J Vet Res. 2024 Apr 13:1-10. doi: 10.2460/ajvr.23.12.0285. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: To investigate associations between hepatic fat accumulation, fibrosis, and plasma values of primary metabolites, biochemical measurands, insulin, and lipoproteins in bearded dragons.ANIMALS: 48 adult central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps).METHODS: Dragons were sedated with alfaxalone, and a blood sample was collected. Plasma was submitted for untargeted primary metabolomics using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, a biochemistry panel, and a lipoprotein panel determined by PAGE. Hepatic lipid conten...

Targeting Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency in MPP < sup > + < /sup > /MPTP-induced Parkinson's Disease Cell Culture and Mouse Models by Transducing Yeast NDI1 Gene
CONCLUSIONS: NDI1 compensates for the defective complex I in MPP+/MPTP-induced models, and vastly alleviates MPTP-induced toxic effect on dopaminergic neurons. Our study may provide a basis for gene therapy of sporadic PD with defective complex I caused by MPTP-like substance.PMID:38594619 | DOI:10.1186/s12575-024-00236-3 (Source: Biological Procedures Online)

Alleviating Neurodegenerative Diseases Associated with Mitochondrial Defects by Therapeutic Biomolecules
Curr Top Med Chem. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.2174/0115680266299148240329062647. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative diseases are emerging as a global health concern in the current sce-nario, and their association with mitochondrial defects has been a potential area of research. Mi-tochondria, one of the essential organelles of the cell, serve as the cell's powerhouse, producing energy and ensuring cellular health. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease have been found to be primarily triggered by mitochondrial malfunct...

Trypanosoma cruzi Killing and Immune Response Boosting by Novel Phenoxyhydrazine-Thiazole against Chagas Disease
Exp Parasitol. 2024 Apr 7:108749. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2024.108749. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes Chagas, which is a neglected tropical disease (NTD). WHO estimates that 6 to 7 million people are infected worldwide. Current treatment is done with benznidazole (BZN), which is very toxic and effective only in the acute phase of the disease. In this work, we designed, synthesized, and characterized thirteen new phenoxyhydrazine-thiazole compounds and applied molecular docking and in vitro methods to investigate cell cytotoxicity, trypanocide activity, nitric oxide (NO) production, cell de...
