Fetal mitochondrial heart and skeletal muscle damage in Erythrocebus patas monkeys exposed in utero to 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidineM Gerschenson
Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 4255, USA
AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 16:635-44. 2000..Furthermore, a dose-dependent depletion of mitochondrial DNA levels was observed in both tissues. The data demonstrate that transplacental AZT exposure causes cardiac and skeletal muscle mitochondrial myopathy in the patas monkey fetus...
Genotoxic and functional consequences of transplacental zidovudine exposure in fetal monkey brain mitochondriaE L Ewings
Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 4255, USA
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 24:100-5. 2000..Thus, in fetal patas monkeys given a human equivalent daily dose of AZT during the last half of pregnancy, mitochondria in the fetal cerebrum appear to sustain moderate damage, while the fetal cerebellum mitochondria were not effected...
Fetal patas monkeys sustain mitochondrial toxicity as a result of in utero zidovudine exposureM Gerschenson
Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 4255, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 918:269-81. 2000..It is therefore possible that the placenta, which is a readily accessible tissue, might be an indicator of potential mitochondrial toxicity in human pregnancies involving nucleoside analog drug exposure...
Chronic stavudine exposure induces hepatic mitochondrial toxicity in adult Erythrocebus patas monkeysM Gerschenson
Division of Heart and Vascular Diseases, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
J Hum Virol 4:335-42. 2001....
Cisplatin exposure induces mitochondrial toxicity in pregnant rats and their fetusesM Gerschenson
Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892-4255, USA
Reprod Toxicol 15:525-31. 2001..Therefore, cisplatin-induced mitochondrial toxicity in maternal rat kidney is severe, while damage to mitochondria in fetal kidney and liver, occurring as a result of the transplacental drug exposure, appears to be mild...
ATP synthesis is coupled to rat liver mitochondrial RNA synthesisS F DasGupta
Section on Brain Physiology and Metabolism, NIA, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA
Mol Cell Biochem 221:3-10. 2001..At ADP concentrations above 2 mM, RNA synthesis decreased. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial transcription is tightly coupled to ATP levels...
