    • Abstract:  Mechanism of citrinin-induced dysfunction of mitochondria. I. Effects on respiration, enzyme activities and membrane potential of renal cortical mitochondria. Chaga s GM, Campello AP, Kl?ppel ML. Departamento de Bioqu?mica da Universidade Federal do Paran?, Brazil. Citrinin depresses the phosphorylation efficiency of rat renal cortical mitochondria, as inferred from the decrease of the respiratory control coefficient (RC) and ADP/O ratios. The transmembrane potential (delta psi) developed by energized mitochondria and the depolarization upon ADP addition are also decreased. Citrinin (1.0 mM) inhibits almost all enzymes linked to the respiratory chain and increases the activity of succinate cytochrome c reductase and succinate oxidase (coupled). Malate and glutamate dehydrogenases are also inhibited. The inhibitory action of citrinin on phosphorylation efficiency could be related to the following findings: the effect on complex I; the action on the ATP synthetase complex; the partial inhibition of the transmembrane potential.

        • New defense mechanism against viruses and cancer identified
          Scientists have found a fundamentally new mechanism how our defense system is ramped up when facing a viral intruder. Exploitation of this mechanism in vaccines sparks new hope for better prevention and therapy of infectious diseases and cancer.
        • Holoprosencephaly - Molecular Mechanism Identified
          Scientists have now identified a molecular mechanism, which is fundamental in the most common brain malformations in humans. Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a disorder in which the forebrain (prosencephalon) of an embryo is formed incompletely, failing to develop into two hemispheres, in which a receptor for cholesterol plays a major role. An animal experiment, carried out on mice by Dr. Annabel ...
        • Researchers identify new mechanism for iron absorption
          The "groundbreaking" study – published in The Journal of Nutrition – is reportedly the first to uncover the existence of at least two independent mechanisms for iron absorption from non-meat source – offering a potential new treatment for iron deficiency using the legume based ferritin.

          THE mechanism employed by Petrojam for calculating the price of petroleum products is currently under review by the government, a senior source in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining has disclosed.
        • Alert Mechanism Report on macroeconomic imbalances in EU Member States - guide
          The EU’s new rules on economic governance, the so-called "six-pack" has two legs: fiscal and macroeconomic surveillance. The macroeconomic imbalances procedure is a new tool that helps detect and correct risky economic developments.
        • Govt should have transparent gas pricing mechanism: E&Y
          The government should frame a transparent mechanism for pricing of natural gas that rewards producers for undertaking risky upstream business, Ernst & Young has said.
        • Joint mechanism formed to protect overseas Chinese
          China has set up a joint mechanism involving its diplomatic and consular missions and companies operating overseas to provide consular protection, said a statement issued here Friday by the Department of Consular Affairs of the Foreign Ministry.
        • Why should I care about 1 Care?
          (The Malaysian Insider) - When the idea of a national health financing mechanism came up in the mid-2000s, the question of how the funding scheme would be implemented caused much concern. Sharmini Darshni As a journalist then with an interest in public health issues, I followed the arguments made, then observed how the idea of “the rich paying for the poor” disappeared. Logic suggests that the ...
        • Oil imports: India-Iran work out rupee trade mechanism
          Indian and Iranian governments have worked out Rupee trade mechanism for payment of India’s total crude imports from the latter in Rupees rather than convertible currency – the US Dollar normally used for such trade globally.
