Evolution of hepatic encephalopathy over time: ecological data from a tertiary referral centre for hepatology
Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Formentin C, Giusti G, Angeli P, Montagnese S Digestive and Liver Disease Objectives Few data on hepatic encephalopathy (HE) over time are available, thus our aim was to study its evolution in patients with varying degree of HE on first assessment. Methods Eighty-six patients with cirrhosis (age = 58 ± 11 […]
Mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase Defects Alter Cellular Homeostasis of Transition Metals
Brischigliaro M, Badocco D, Costa R, Viscomi C, Zeviani M, Pastore P, Fernández-Vizarra E Front Cell Dev Biol The redox activity of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal oxidase of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), depends on the incorporation of iron and copper into its catalytic centers. Many mitochondrial proteins have specific roles for the synthesis and […]
Toward a Molecular Approach to Chronotype Assessment
Biscontin A, Zarantonello L, Russo A, Costa R, Montagnese R J Biol Rhythms The aim of the present study was to develop a Polygenic Score-based model for molecular chronotype assessment. Questionnaire-based phenotypical chronotype assessment was used as a reference. In total, 54 extremely morning/morning (MM/M; 35 females, 39.7 ± 3.8 years) and 44 extremely evening/evening […]
