Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase Attenuates Pathologic Remodeling in Heart Failure

Yi Zhang, Annina Stuber

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in cardiac energy metabolism occur in heart failure (HF) and contribute to contractile dysfunction, but their role, if any, in HF-related pathologic remodeling is much less established. CK (creatine kinase), the primary muscle ene ...

Investigation of physiological roles of AMPK-activated protein kinase y3

Philipp Jurijvic Rhein

Clinical trials have shown that direct activators of an evolutionary-conserved metabolic sensor, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), are beneficial in preventing/treating a range of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. These activators, includi ...

A novel proposition for a citrate-modified photo-Fenton process against bacterial contamination of microalgae cultures

César Pulgarin, Christian Ludwig, Stefanos Giannakis, Adrian Pulgarin

This study reports the first attempt of a citrate-modified photo-Fenton (PF) application at near-neutral pH (7.5–8.5, tap water) to disinfect Escherichia coli (as model bacterium), in Chlorella vulgaris cultures. The conditions are aimed towards bacterial ...

Glycogen metabolism is impaired in the brain of male type 2 diabetic Goto‐Kakizaki rats

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Sakura Sophie Nussbaum

Diabetes impacts the central nervous system predisposing to cognitive decline. While glucose is the main source of energy fueling the adult brain, brain glycogen is necessary for adequate neuronal function, synaptic plasticity and memory. In this study, we ...

Alterations of Brain Energy Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats Measured In Vivo by (13)C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Rolf Gruetter, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with deterioration of brain structure and function. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T2D induces a reorganization of the brain metabolic networks that support brain function. For that, alterations of neuronal and glia ...

Ultra high magnetic field for glial contribution into brain metabolism studied by MR spectroscopy and CEST methods for molecular imaging of glycogen

Elise Marie Catherine Vinckenbosch

Magnetic resonance at ultra-high field increases signal and spectral dispersion. In this thesis, I use those characteristics to investigate three different subjects in 13C spectroscopy, hyperpolarized methods and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST ...

Technical and experimental features of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of brain glycogen metabolism

Rolf Gruetter, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Hongxia Lei

In the brain, glycogen is a source of glucose not only in emergency situations but also during normal brain activity. Altered brain glycogen metabolism is associated with energetic dysregulation in pathological conditions, such as diabetes or epilepsy. Bot ...

Glycogen Supercompensation in the Rat Brain After Acute Hypoglycemia is Independent of Glucose Levels During Recovery

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Rolf Gruetter

Patients with diabetes display a progressive decay in the physiological counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia, resulting in hypoglycemia unawareness. The mechanism through which the brain adapts to hypoglycemia may involve brain glycogen. We tested t ...

Mitochondrial Post-translational Modifications and Metabolic Control: Sirtuins and Beyond

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Introduction: In order to maintain metabolic homeostasis, organisms adjust the capacity and efficiency of ATP generation to changes in energetic demand and supply. While the transcriptional control of mitochondrial biogenesis allows to adapt mitochondrial ...

Three-dimensional immersive virtual reality for studying cellular compartments in 3D models from EM preparations of neural tissues

Pierre Magistretti, Corrado Cali

Advances in the application of electron microscopy (EM) to serial imaging are opening doors to new ways of analyzing cellular structure. New and improved algorithms and workflows for manual and semiautomated segmentation allow us to observe the spatial arr ...

Glutamate Cysteine Ligase-Modulatory Subunit Knockout Mouse Shows Normal Insulin Sensitivity but Reduced Liver Glycogen Storage

Pierre Magistretti

Glutathione (GSH) deficits have been observed in several mental or degenerative illness, and so has the metabolic syndrome. The impact of a decreased glucose metabolism on the GSH system is well-known, but the effect of decreased GSH levels on the energy m ...

AMP-activated protein kinase : strategies for activation and downstream target identification

Serge Thanh Son Ducommun

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionally conserved key sensor of cellular energy status. Under conditions of cellular energy stress, AMPK is activated and will switch off anabolic processes that consume ATP, while activating catabolic proces ...

Regulation Of Neuron-Astrocyte Metabolic Coupling Across The Sleep-Wake Cycle

Pierre Magistretti

Over the last thirty years, a growing number of studies showed that astrocytes play a pivotal role in the energy support to synapses. More precisely, astrocytes adjust energy production to neuronal energy needs through different mechanisms grouped under th ...

Navigating and Managing the Complexity of Genome Scale Metabolic Networks for Studies in Cellular Physiology and Industrial Biotechnology

Meriç Ataman

Metabolism is a network of biochemical reactions that converts carbon sources to cellu-lar fuels and building blocks. Metabolism of many organisms has been studied for many decades. These studies define metabolism as a very large and complex network. Stoic ...

NAD(+) repletion improves muscle function in muscular dystrophy and counters global PARylation

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Laurent Mouchiroud, Dongryeol Ryu, Hongbo Zhang, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Keir Joe Menzies, Xu Wang, Karim Laurent Gariani

Neuromuscular diseases are often caused by inherited mutations that lead to progressive skeletal muscle weakness and degeneration. In diverse populations of normal healthy mice, we observed correlations between the abundance of mRNA transcripts related to ...

Imaging liver and brain glycogen metabolism at the nanometer scale

Anders Meibom, Arnaud Comment, Graham Knott, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Yuhei Takado

In mammals, glycogen synthesis and degradation are dynamic processes regulating blood and cerebral glucose-levels within a well-defined physiological range. Despite the essential role of glycogen in hepatic and cerebral metabolism, its spatiotemporal distr ...

Glycogen metabolism and the homeostatic regulation of sleep

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Sophie Burlet Godinot

In 1995 Benington and Heller formulated an energy hypothesis of sleep centered on a key role of glycogen. It was postulated that a major function of sleep is to replenish glycogen stores in the brain that have been depleted during wakefulness which is asso ...

Deciphering the astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation in vivo

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain energy consumption is high and a very tightly regulated energy metabolism ensures correct performance. Neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information via synapses, interact very closely with star shaped glial cells called astrocytes. Ast ...

Disrupting astrocyte-neuron lactate transfer persistently reduces conditioned responses to cocaine

Pierre Magistretti

A central problem in the treatment of drug addiction is the high risk of relapse often precipitated by drug-associated cues. The transfer of glycogen-derived lactate from astrocytes to neurons is required for long-term memory. Whereas blockade of drug memo ...
