Impairment of methylglyoxal detoxification systems causes mitochondrial dysfunction and schizophrenia-like behavioral deficits
2020-07-09
Abstract excerpt
Methylglyoxal (MG) is a cytotoxic α -dicarbonyl byproduct of glycolysis. Our bodies have several bio-defense systems to detoxify MG, including an enzymatic system by glyoxalase (GLO) 1 and a scavenge system by vitamin B6 (VB6). We know a population of patients with schizophrenia impaired MG detoxification systems. However, the molecular mechanism connecting them remains poorly understood. We created a novel mouse...
