Magnesium deficiency accelerates cellular senescence in cultured human fibroblastsDavid W Killilea
Nutrition and Metabolism Center, Children s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, CA 94609, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:5768-73. 2008....
N-tert-butyl hydroxylamine, a mitochondrial antioxidant, protects human retinal pigment epithelial cells from iron overload: relevance to macular degenerationLudmila A Voloboueva
Children s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Nutrition and Metabolism Center, 5700 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland, CA 94609 1673, USA
FASEB J 21:4077-86. 2007..NtBHA might be useful in AMD due to its potential to reduce oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and age-related iron accumulation, which may damage normal RPE function and lead to loss of vision...
Iron accumulation during cellular senescenceDavid W Killilea
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, California 94609, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1019:365-7. 2004..Thus, iron accumulation is not a cause, but a consequence of normal cellular senescence in vitro. Senescence-associated iron accumulation may contribute to the increased oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction seen in senescent cells...
Lipoic acid and acetyl-carnitine reverse iron-induced oxidative stress in human fibroblastsAshutosh Lal
Nutrition and Metabolism Center, Children s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, California, USA
Redox Rep 13:2-10. 2008..We conclude that LA is highly effective in reversing oxidative stress arising from iron overload and that its antioxidant efficacy is further enhanced in combination with ALCAR...
Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can accelerate the mitochondrial decay of agingBruce N Ames
Nutrition, Metabolisms and Genomics Center, Children s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, CA 94609, U States
Mol Aspects Med 26:363-78. 2005..An optimum intake of micronutrients could tune up metabolism and give a marked increase in health, particularly for the poor, elderly, and obese, at little cost...
Heme deficiency may be a factor in the mitochondrial and neuronal decay of agingHani Atamna
Children s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, CA 94609, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:14807-12. 2002..Thus, heme deficiency or dysregulation may be an important and preventable component of the neurodegenerative process...
Oxidative stress and inflammation in iron-overloaded patients with beta-thalassaemia or sickle cell diseasePatrick B Walter
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, CA 94609, USA
Br J Haematol 135:254-63. 2006..This supports the hypothesis that the biology of SCD may show increased inflammation and increased levels of protective antioxidants compared with thalassaemia...
Iron accumulation during cellular senescence in human fibroblasts in vitroDavid W Killilea
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, CA 94609, USA
Antioxid Redox Signal 5:507-16. 2003..These data indicate that iron accumulation occurs during normal cellular senescence in vitro. This accumulation of iron may contribute to the increased oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction seen in senescent cells...
Age-associated mitochondrial oxidative decay: improvement of carnitine acetyltransferase substrate-binding affinity and activity in brain by feeding old rats acetyl-L- carnitine and/or R-alpha -lipoic acidJiankang Liu
Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:1876-81. 2002..Thus, feeding old rats high levels of key mitochondrial metabolites can ameliorate oxidative damage, enzyme activity, substrate-binding affinity, and mitochondrial dysfunction...
Zinc deficiency reduces paclitaxel efficacy in LNCaP prostate cancer cellsAlison N Killilea
Life Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA
Cancer Lett 258:70-9. 2007..Given the prevalence of zinc deficiency, determining how chemotherapeutic action is modulated by zinc adequacy may have clinical importance...
Pharmacogenetic analysis of lithium-induced delayed aging in Caenorhabditis elegansGawain McColl
Buck Institute for Age Research, Novato, CA 94945, USA
J Biol Chem 283:350-7. 2008..2), a histone demethylase; knockdown by RNA interference of T08D10.2 is sufficient to extend longevity ( approximately 25% median increase), suggesting Li(+) regulates survival by modulating histone methylation and chromatin structure...
