Context.—Primary mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the most common causes of inherited disorders predominantly involving the neuromuscular system. Advances in the molecular study of mitochondrial DNA have changed our vision and our approach to primary mitochondrial disorders. Many of the mitochondrial disorders are c...
Research in the last decade has revolutionized the way in which we view mitochondria. Mitochondria are no longer viewed solely as cellular powerhouses; rather, mitochondria are now understood to be vibrant, mobile structures, constantly undergoing fusion and fission, and engaging in intimate interactions with other cel...

Thiazolidinediones are synthetic agonists for the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and are therapeutically used as insulin sensitizers.

Background ::: ::: Troglitazone (TRO), a thiazolidinedione (TZD) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist, was recently withdrawn from the market because of rare but serious hepatotoxicity. Previous studies investigating the cytotoxicity of TRO in cultured rat hepatocytes have conjectured about the role of ...
