Cardioprotective effects mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel in exercise conditioning
Authors: F.-L. Peng, Y.-J. Guo, W.-B. Mo, S.-M. Xu and H.-P. Liao
We investigated the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel [mito-K (ATP)] in exercise preconditioning of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into high-, moderate-, low-intensity, and control groups. The exercise groups were divided into control and inhibited groups. The c.. Read More»

Structure of mitochondrial DNA control region and genetic diversity of Moschus berezovskii populations in Shaanxi Province
Authors: H. Feng, C.L. Feng, Y. Huang and J. Tang
In China, Moschus berezovskii (forest musk deer), a first-class national protected animal, was earlier widely distributed. However, wild populations of the forest musk deer have declined because of human activity and habitat loss. In order to gather useful information for its conservation and management, we investigated the ge.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genomes reveal phylogeny relationship and evolutionary history of the family Felidae
Authors: W.Q. Zhang and M.H. Zhang
Many mitochondrial DNA sequences are used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among animal taxa and perform molecular phylogenetic evolution analysis. With the continuous development of sequencing technology, numerous mitochondrial sequences have been released in public databases, especially complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. Using multiple sequence.. Read More»

Mitochondrial and nuclear genes as the cause of complex I deficiency
Authors: A.R. Rezaee, A. Azadi, M. Houshmand, F. Mahmoodi, Z. Purpak, S. Safaei, P. Karimi, M. Ghabaee and M.A. Sahraian
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immunological inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. The pathogenesis of MS is incompletely understood, but various studies have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the disease. Mitochondria are among the main cellular sources of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and they play a pivota.. Read More»

Population genetic structure and historical demography of the ground beetle Chlaenius costiger in the Tsinling-Dabashan Mountains of central China
Authors: L.-N. Su, X.-C. Li, H.-Z. Meng, X.-Y. Gao, H. Yin and K. Li
Population genetic structure and demographic history of the ground beetle Chlaenius costiger (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in the Tsinling-Dabashan Mountains of central China were estimated using mitochondrial DNA sequences (Cox1-tRNALeu-Cox2) of 144 individuals from 16 local populations. The high haplotype diversity was accompanied by low nucleotide diversity... Read More»

Mitochondrial dysfunction in resveratrol-induced apoptosis in QGY-7701 cells
Authors: J.P. Li, Q. Ma and C.M. Chen
This study aims to evaluate the cytotoxicity of resveratrol on QGY-7701 cells via a cell viability assay, and determine the cytological alterations and damages that result. Resveratrol was found to inhibit QGY-7701 cell growth and decrease their viability in a remarkably dose-dependent manner. Resveratrol exposure also induced an increase in Caspase-3 act.. Read More»

Phylogenetic relationships among Octopodidae species in coastal waters of China inferred from two mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: Z.M. L�¼, W.T. Cui, L.Q. Liu, H.M. Li and C.W. Wu
Octopus in the family Octopodidae (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) has been generally recognized as a “catch-all” genus. The monophyly of octopus species in China’s coastal waters has not yet been studied. In this paper, we inferred the phylogeny of 11 octopus species (family Octopodidae) in China’s coastal waters using nucleotide sequences.. Read More»

Molecular evolution and adaptation of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene in the subgenus Martes
Authors: B. Li, B. Malyarchuk, X.B. He and M. Derenko
Martes species represent a typical example of rapid evolutionary radiation and a recent speciation event. To identify regions of the genome that experienced adaptive evolution, which might provide clues to their functional importance and may be informative about the features that make each species unique, we sought evidence of molecular adaptation in the ..

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese Hwamei Garrulax canorus (Aves: Passeriformes): the first representative of the Leiothrichidae family with a duplicated control region
Authors: D.S. Chen, C.J. Qian, Q.Q. Ren, P. Wang, J. Yuan, L. Jiang, D. Bi, Q. Zhang, Y. Wang and X.Z. Kan
The Chinese Hwamei Garrulax canorus, a member of the family Leiothrichidae, is commonly found in central and southern China, northern Indochina, and on Hainan Island. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of G. canorus. The circular mitochondrial genome is 17,785 bp in length and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (t..
