cytochrome c/fatigue

A cytochrome c/11-MUA heterolayer was fabricated to analyze its electrochemical characteristics in harsh conditions for a stable bioelectronic device. Since a cytochrome c/11-MUA heterolayer has been applied to construct the bioelectronics device such as non-volatile biomemory device, an

In the literature enlarged/increased cross-sectional area (CSA) of type I muscle fibres has been reported as a morphological mark of work-related localised myalgia in the descending part of the trapezius muscle of women. These studies did not use enough subjects or lacked an adequate control group.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Heshouwuyin on the expression of cytochrome C oxidase7a2 (Cox7a2) in testis tissue of rats with exercised-induced fatigue. METHODS Fifty SD rats were divided into normal control group (A group), Heshouwuyin administered normal group (B group), model control group

BACKGROUND Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients show a persistent fatigue condition with muscle pain and impairment of concentration, memory, and sleep. Presently, the physiological basis of CFS remains unclear. In this study, spectroscopic differences in the thumb were compared between 103 CFS

Fatigue is a symptom of many diseases, but it can also manifest as a unique medical condition, such as idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF). While the prevalence of ICF increases with age, mitochondrial content and function decline with age, which may contribute to ICF. The purpose of this study was to

Introduction: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most debilitating symptom with the greatest adverse side effect on quality of life. The etiology of this symptom is still not understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mitochondrial gene expression,

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations associated with rhabdomyolysis are rare but have been described in sporadic cases with mutations in the cytochrome b and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) genes and in 3 cases with tRNALeu mutation. We report a novel heteroplasmic G6708A nonsense mutation in the mtDNA

Chitooligosaccharides (COS), oligosaccharides composed of two to seven glucosamine residues, are known to exhibit various biological activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of COS in an in vivo mouse sleep deprivation-induced fatigue model in an effort to develop a functional food

This study test the hypothesis that a temporal relationship exists between the production of superoxide anion (O2-) and the contractile activity of perfused rat diaphragm. O2- levels were determined minute to minute by measuring the reduction of cytochrome c in the perfusate as the diaphragms were

1. Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by muscle fatigue and pain at rest, symptoms which are usually exacerbated with exercise. Although various studies have shown minor, non-specific morphological and biochemical changes in muscle of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, no consistent

Little is known about the antioxidant capacity and oxidant-generating potential of newborn muscle, or how these properties compare with the adult and relate to fatigue resistance. We determined the 1) antioxidant enzyme activities [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase], 2)

Mitochondrial dysfunction can drastically impair muscle function, with weakness and exercise intolerance as key symptoms. Here we examine the time course of development of muscle dysfunction in a mouse model of premature ageing induced by defective proofreading function of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)

A 27-yr-old woman with lifelong severe exercise intolerance manifested by muscle fatigue, lactic acidosis, and prominent symptoms of dyspnea and tachycardia induced by trivial exercise was found to have a skeletal muscle respiratory chain defect characterized by low levels of reducible cytochromes a

The antifatigue properties of Morinda elliptica (ME) leaf were compared with Morinda citrifolia (MC) leaf extracts. Sixty Balb/C mice were administered (N = 10): control water, standardized green tea extract (positive control 200 mg/kg body weight [BW]), either 200 or 400 mg MC/kg BW, or either 200

The soluble Ca2+-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) is expressed at high levels in fast-twitch muscles of mice. Deficiency of PV in knockout mice (PV -/-) slows down the speed of twitch relaxation, while maximum force generated during tetanic contraction is unaltered. We observed that PV-deficient
