Breakdown and rejuvenation of aging brain energy metabolism

Henry Markram, Daniel Keller, Jay Coggan, Cyrille Pierre Henri Favreau, Elvis Boci, Polina Shichkova, Stefano Maximiliano Antonel

Cognitive impairments and neurodegeneration in aging are linked to disrupted brain energy metabolism. We address this experimentally challenging problem with a computational molecular model that provides mechanistic insights and therapeutic predictions. Th ...

Combining accelerometry with allometry for estimating daily energy expenditure in joules when in-lab calibration is unavailable

Kamiar Aminian, Pritish Chakravarty

Background All behaviour requires energy, and measuring energy expenditure in standard units (joules) is key to linking behaviour to ecological processes. Animal-borne accelerometers are commonly used to infer proxies of energy expenditure, termed 'dynamic ...

Interindividual variability of human thermoregulation: Toward personalized ergonomics of the indoor thermal environment

Dolaana Khovalyg

Objective The study was undertaken to show the magnitude of interindividual differences in energy expenditure (i.e., heat production) under normal living conditions with the aim of providing physiological evidence to support the advancement of a personaliz ...

Reduced ech-6 expression attenuates fat-induced lifespan shortening in C. elegans

Richardus Houtkooper, Wen Gao, Yuan Liu

Deregulated energy homeostasis represents a hallmark of aging and results from complex gene-by-environment interactions. Here, we discovered that reducing the expression of the gene ech-6 encoding enoyl-CoA hydratase remitted fat diet-induced deleterious e ...

Pronounced α-synuclein pathology in a seeding-based mouse model is not sufficient to induce mitochondrial respiration deficits in the striatum and amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hilal Lashuel, Johannes Burtscher, Jean-Christophe Copin

Increasing evidence suggests that crosstalk between α-synuclein pathology formation and mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies. While mitochondrial dysfunction is a well-studi ...

Metabolic cost calculations of gait using musculoskeletal energy models, a comparison study

Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

This paper compares predictions of metabolic energy expenditure in gait using seven metabolic energy expenditure models to assess their correlation with experimental data. Ground reaction forces, marker data, and pulmonary gas exchange data were recorded f ...

Predicted responses of a large-scale Pseudomonas putida KT2440 kinetic metabolic model to several single-gene knockouts are consistent with experimental observations

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Milenko Tokic

P. putida emerged as one of the most promising production hosts for a wide range of chemicals, due to its fast growth with a low nutrient and cellular energy demand, considerable metabolic versatility, ability to grow in wide range of chemicals, suitabilit ...

Impact of individual differences in glucocorticoid adaptation to stress on behavior, neurophysiology and metabolism

Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...

Continental-scale decrease in net primary productivity in streams due to climate warming

Janine Rüegg

Streams play a key role in the global carbon cycle. The balance between carbon intake through photosynthesis and carbon release via respiration influences carbon emissions from streams and depends on temperature. However, the lack of a comprehensive analys ...

The small RNA RyhB is a regulator of cytochrome expression in Shewanella oneidensis

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom

Shewanella oneidensis produces an extensive electron transfer network that results in metabolic flexibility. A large number of c-type cytochromes are expressed by S. oneidensis and these function as the fundamental electron transport chain proteins. Althou ...
