The Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) displays a central role in non-shivering thermogenesis and cold adaptation in mammals. To do such, potential energy generated in the mitochondria through oxidation of nutrients is dissipated in the form of heat by a specific uncoupling protein, UCP1. Recent data show that this process requires a fine tuning of fusion (union of two separated mitochondria) and…
The central nervous system (CNS) has constant high energy demands to perform a series of specialized processes. Therefore it strongly relies on cellular respiration to supply that energy. Given that, in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are the main source for ATP production, its importance in CNS cells becomes evident. Another relevant mitochondrial function is cytosolic Ca2+ uptake, as the…
