E Brouillet et al.
Current opinion in neurology, 8(6), 469-473 (1995-12-01)
Compelling evidence suggests that a defect in energy metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of various degenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. The behavioural and neuropathological consequences in primates of chronic systemic administration of mitochondrial toxins
Emmanuel Brouillet et al.
Journal of neurochemistry, 95(6), 1521-1540 (2005-11-23)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding Huntingtin. The mechanisms underlying the preferential degeneration of the striatum, the most striking neuropathological change in HD, are unknown. Of those probably involved, mitochondrial defects
Samantha Corrà et al.
iScience, 26(10), 107955-107955 (2023-10-09)
Mutations in MPV17 are a major contributor to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndromes, a group of inherited genetic conditions due to mtDNA instability. To investigate the role of MPV17 in mtDNA maintenance, we generated and characterized a Drosophila melanogaster Mpv17

Follicular atresia is common in female mammalian ovaries, where most follicles undergo degeneration at any stage of growth and development. Oxidative stress gives rise to triggering granulosa cell apoptosis, which has been suggested as a major cause of follicular atresia.
Esther T Menze et al.
Neurotoxicology, 33(5), 1265-1275 (2012-08-02)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a spectrum of cognitive, behavioral, and motor abnormalities. The mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) effectively induces specific behavioral changes, primarily manifested as prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficit of acoustic startle stimuli, and
