NAD(+) homeostasis in health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Elena Katsyuba, Mario Romani, Dina Hofer

The conceptual evolution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) from being seen as a simple metabolic cofactor to a pivotal cosubstrate for proteins regulating metabolism and longevity, including the sirtuin family of protein deacylases, has led to ...

Mitochondrial oxidative capacity and NAD(+) biosynthesis are reduced in human sarcopenia across ethnicities

Patrick Descombes, Tanja Sonntag

The causes of impaired skeletal muscle mass and strength during aging are well-studied in healthy populations. Less is known on pathological age-related muscle wasting and weakness termed sarcopenia, which directly impacts physical autonomy and survival. H ...

In vivo cerebral metabolism of glioblastoma xenografts assessed with ¹H MRS, ¹³C MRS and ¹⁸F-FDG PET

Marta Lai

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful tool when studying metabolism in intact and living organs preserving cells in their natural microenvironment with minimal external interference. The unique insights offered by the observation of metabolic ...

Fe(III) reduction during pyruvate fermentation by Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

Desulfotomaculum reducens MI-1 is a Gram-positive, sulfate-reducing bacterium also capable of reducing several metals, among which is Fe(III). Very limited knowledge is available on the potential mechanism(s) of metal reduction among Gram-positive bacteria ...

Computational, Structural, and Kinetic Evidence That Vibrio vulnificus FrsA Is Not a Cofactor-Independent Pyruvate Decarboxylase

Ursula Röthlisberger, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

The fermentation-respiration switch (FrsA) protein in Vibrio vulnificus was recently reported to catalyze the cofactor-independent decarboxylation of pyruvate. We now report quantum mechanical/molecular mechenical calculations that examine the energetics o ...

Lactate metabolism shift in CHO cell culture: the role of mitochondrial oxidative activity

Florian Maria Wurm, Martin Jordan, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler

Lactate production is monitored in industrial processes as a crucial metabolite for cultured mammalian cells. Typically lactate is strongly produced during the exponential growth phase, while its net consumption is frequently observed when cells enter into ...

Mathematical Modeling of Brain Energy Metabolism, Measured with PET and MRS in Rodents

Bernard Lanz

Positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are two biomedical measurement techniques developed in the end of the XXth century, which drastically improved the amount of accessible information available in vivo. PET ...

Multidisciplinary Analysis of the Metabolic Shift to Lactate Consumption in CHO Cell Culture

Mammalian cells represent the most widely used host system for the industrial production of recombinant therapeutic proteins. In order to increase productivity, chemically defined media are often used and optimized to provide the cells with the necessary n ...

Metabolic compartmentalization in the human cortex and hippocampus: evidence for a cell- and region-specific localization of lactate dehydrogenase 5 and pyruvate dehydrogenase

Pierre Magistretti

BACKGROUND: For a long time now, glucose has been thought to be the main, if not the sole substrate for brain energy metabolism. Recent data nevertheless suggest that other molecules, such as monocarboxylates (lactate and pyruvate mainly) could be suitable ...
