M1 macrophages “commit” to a glycolytic state when endogenous nitric oxide (NO) reprograms mitochondrial metabolism by limiting aconitase (Aco)-2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). Here we provide evidence that NO directly targets the PDH complex using lipoate to generate nitroxyl (HNO).…

Scientists ID Localized P2X7 Receptor as a Key to a Healthy Heart
Research in mice has found the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) to be a key regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism that enhances physical fitness. P2X7R is a channel that becomes activated in response to ATP, the organic compound that gives the body…
