Mitochondrial dysfunction might play a central role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The aims of this study were to evaluate whether free fatty acid (FFA) transport into the mitochondria or the activity of mitochondria respiratory chain (MRC) complexes are impaired in NASH
Mitochondrial respiratory chain function was investigated with polarographic and enzymatic studies, and correlated with immunoblot studies using a battery of probes against respiratory chain holocomplexes in a series of patients with myoclonus epilepsy and ragged red fibers (MERRF) syndrome. State I
Serum immunoglobulin G, A and M concentrations and their respective kappa/lambda (kappa/lambda) light chain ratios were studied in 26 children with epilepsy. Fifteen had cryptogenic West syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and 11 had other forms of childhood epilepsy. The results were compared to th
