NATURAL VARIATION IN LIFE HISTORY AND AGING PHENOTYPES IS ASSOCIATED WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DNA DELETION FREQUENCY IN CAENORHABDITIS BRIGGSAE

Natural variation in life history and aging phenotypes is associated with mitochondrial DNA deletion frequency in Caenorhabditis briggsae

Abstract Background Mutations that impair mitochondrial functioning are associated with a variety of metabolic and age-related disorders.A barrier to rigorous tests of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in aging processes has been the lack of model systems with relevant, naturally occurring mitochondrial genetic variation.Toward the goal of deve

Constraints on superoxide mediated formation of manganese oxides

Manganese (Mn) oxides are among the most reactive sorbents and oxidants within the environment, where they play a central role in the cycling of nutrients, metals, NUTRI PROBIOTIC and carbon.Recent discoveries have identified superoxide (O2-) (both of biogenic and abiogenic origin) as an effective oxidant of Mn(II) leading to the formation of Mn ox
