Mitochondria are primarily appreciated for the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a chemical store of energy required by all cells. These organelles, however, also play key roles in apoptosis, autophagy and shaping cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) signaling via Ca2+ uptake into the mitochondrial matrix. This Ca2+ uptake is mediated chiefly via the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU), an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that oligomerizes to form a Ca2+ selective pore. MCU is regulated by several protein binding partners, including the recently identified MCU regulator-1 (MCUR1). MCUR1 stabilizes a higher order MCU heterocomplex through interactions with MCU …
Effects Of Maternal Protein Restriction On The Pulmonary Surfactant System During The Early Life And Adulthood, Reza Khazaee
Effects Of Maternal Protein Restriction On The Pulmonary Surfactant System During The Early Life And Adulthood, Reza Khazaee
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is defined by low birth weight and contributes to a variety of adult-onset diseases with different severities between males and females. However, the effects of FGR on the pulmonary surfactant are not fully elucidated. In this thesis, first, we investigated the FGR effects on the lung function and the surfactant system at the early postnatal life. It was hypothesized that FGR contributes to alterations of lung mechanics and the surfactant system during the neonatal period. Second, we assessed the FGR effects on the surfactant system in response to sepsis in adulthood. It was hypothesized that FGR …
Investigating The Cortical, Metabolic And Behavioral Effects Of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation In Preparation For Combined Rehabilitation, Kayla N. Ryan
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The goal of this thesis was to determine the cortical reorganization that occurs in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) after surgical decompression and to implement this knowledge into a new rehabilitation strategy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique to modulate human behavior. Due to the novel electrode montage used, it was first pertinent that we determine how tDCS would modulate cortical, metabolic and motor behavior in healthy individuals.
We observed the longitudinal functional adaptations that occur in patients with CSM using functional MRI. Enhanced excitation of supplementary motor area (SMA) was observed following surgical decompression and …
