Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial matrix cyclophilin D (CyPD) is known to promote development of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Kidney proximal tubule cells are especially prone to deleterious effects of mitochondrial damage because of their dependence on oxidative mitochondrial metabolism for ATP production. To clarify the role of CyPD and the MPT in proximal tubule injury during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and...
