Brain energy machinery faltered in mice with shortened DNA caps
Experiments in five- and nine-month-old mice found impaired activity in mitochondria, the structures that supply cells with energy.Experiments in five- and nine-month-old mice found impaired activity in mitochondria, the structures that supply cells with energy.
Preprint: mouse studyTelomerase and telomere maintenance
Who was studiedTelomerase-deficient and wild-type mice, against wild-type mice
What changedBrain mitochondrial enzyme activity was approximately 20% lower in telomerase-deficient mice than in wild-type mice
The catchMitochondrial activity was normalized to total protein despite contamination with cytosolic and nuclear material
