Mitochondria-targeted anti-oxidant AntiOxCIN4 improved liver steatosis in Weste...
Amorim, Ricardo; Simões, Inês C. M.; Teixeira, José; Cagide, Fernando; Potes, Yaiza; Soares, Pedro; Carvalho, Adriana; Tavares, Ludgero C.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a health concern affecting 24% of the population worldwide. Although the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying disease are not fully clarified, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key players in disease progression. Consequently, efforts to develop more efficient pharmacologic strategies targeting mitochondria for NAFLD prevention/treatment are underw...
The Alterations of Mitochondrial Function during NAFLD Progression-An Independe...
Simões, Inês C M; Amorim, Ricardo; Teixeira, José; Karkucinska-Wieckowska, Agnieszka; Carvalho, Adriana; Pereira, Susana P; Simões, Rui F.The progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis implicates multiple mechanisms, chief of which is mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the sequence of events underlying mitochondrial failure are still poorly clarified. In this work, male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a high-fat plus high-sucrose diet for 16, 20, 22, and 24 weeks to induce NAFL. Up to the 20th week, an early m...
