Diet is directly related with physiological alterations occurring at a cell and subcellular level. However, the role of diet manipulation on mitochondrial physiology is still largely unexplored. Aiming at correlating diet with alterations of mitochondrial membrane composition and bioenergetics, Wistar-Han male rats were fed for 11, 22 and 33 days with a rapeseed oil-based diet and mitochondrial bioenergetics, a...
Tacrine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used as cognitive enhancer in Alzheimer's disease treatment. However, the low therapeutic efficiency and the high incidence of side effects have limited its clinical use. In the present study, the molecular mechanisms underlying the brain activity of tacrine and two novel tacrine analogues (T1, T2) were approached focusing on three aspects: i) effects on brain cholin...
