Mitochondria have their own DNA (mtDNA) and hence biogenesis of mitochondria requires a coordination of nuclear and mtDNA, both of which encode for mitochondria proteins. Our understanding of the molecular control of ...
We hypothesized that the increase in mitochondrial proliferation in hearts from copper-deficient rats is due to an increase in expression of the transcriptional factor Ppargc1a, which regulates transcriptional activity for ...

Changes in mitochondrial and sarcoplasmic proteins using proteinomics and western blotting in hearts from copper deficient rats were explored in this study. Also, key enzymes that are involved in cardiac energy metabolism ...
Nutrigenomic research may uncover the keys to utilizing genetic information to create food products that improve public health through mitigation of chronic diseases.
