Lon, a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial enzyme, degrades oxidized proteins of the mitochondrial (mt) matrix, and participates in the replication of mtDNA. Lon is upregulated in the presence of substances such as stavudine (d4T), D-deoxyribose (dRib), that increase the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, or in the presence of H 2 O 2. Here we show the promoter region −623/+1...
We performed an extensive study on mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic periodontitis (CP). Electron microscopic analysis of gingival cells revealed abnormal mitochondria in 60% of the patients. Mitochondrial membrane potential and oxygen consumption of gingival cells were reduced by 4 fold and 5.8 fold, respectively; whereas ROS production was increased by 18%. The genetic analysis by complete mitochondrial...
