Lipidomic Alterations in the Mitochondria of Aged Parkin Null Mice Relevant to Autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial quality control is important in neurological diseases, but in genetic Parkinson's disease caused by mutations in PINK and parkin mitochondrial degradation through autophagy is crucial. Reductions in autophagy and mitophagy are implicated in aging, age related diseases and Parkinson. The parkin null mice (PK-KO) show only a subtle phenotype, apparent with age or with stressors. We have studied the...
