Introduction. Statins are a group of effective lipid – lowering medications. A common side effect of long-term statin use is myopathy. The mechanism of its development is not fully understood at the molecular level, making it difficult to find effective drugs …
The review summarizes a number of published reports about the influence of total hormonal and metabolic disturbances on the functioning system mother – placenta – fetus in the organism of the women with obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus. The circadian …
Peptidergic structures of the hypothalamus arrange a basis of its unique ability to regulate the organism's functions in time, adjusting metabolism, energy exchange and motor activity as sources of its own energy- to the dynamics of energy intake from external…
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of inherited diseases characterized by the presence of defects in the mitochondrial mechanism of the patient. The distinguishing feature of such diseases is in transferring it via the maternal line to all the offspring. Vario…
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive, age-related, neuronal disorder that affects as much as 1% of the persons over 65 years. According to forecasts of the World Health Organization over the world about 9 million people will suffer from PD by 2030. So PD …
Telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT is tightly regulated both at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. One of the regulatory mechanisms is its mRNA alternative splicing. Only full-length form has catalytic activity and the ability to elongate telo…
Energy supply of cells can be provided through both an oxygen-dependent pathway of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and oxygenindependent glycolysis. Oxidative phosphorylation in the synthesis of ATP is more efficient than in glycolysis, and respectivel…
Alzheimer's disease being the socially significant neurodegenerative disease of the elderly, ranks 6th on the causes of death among somatic pathologies. The molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease still remain unexplored until the end, and the efficacy of …
Introduction. In IVF-cycles ≈70% of human oocytes have different morphological abnormalities (dysmorphisms). Embryos from dysmorhic oocytes may have delay in development due to mitochondrial dysfunction and disorders of energy accumulation in the cell. The aim…
Introduction. Endometritis and elder fertile age are the one of the main reason of infertility. Molecular methods of endometrial investigation have opened new perspectives in diagnostics and evaluation of the efficacy of the management of endometritis Objectiv…
Introduction. Nitric oxide is a well-known regulator of different metabolic processes in cells and tissues. Its effect is usually represented as a balanced combination of both mediator and toxic action and the mutual ranges of them are not simply identified. I…
Introduction. Galectin-1 binds to cell surface glycoprotein and participates in cooperation of immune cells. It is supposed that the CD4+- lymphocytes can be target for immunosuppressive activity of galectin-1. However, there is no sufficient information about…
Based on literature and own data the role of genotoxic events in nosogenesis of hereditary, congenital and somatic diseases is considered. Special emphasis is paid to the analysis of significance of premutagenic DNA lesions and as well induced gene mutations i…
In this review the recent data regarding cancer stem cells (CSCs), the mechanisms of their drug resistance and the development of novel anti-CSC therapies are summarized. Recent studies suggest that salinomycin has selective toxicity for CSCs. Salinomycin is a…
Introduction. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are observed in virtually any disease associated with premature aging. Signaling molecules produced by mitochondria can act as specific targets for the action of pharmacological agents in order to re…
