The bioenergetics of induced ageing
Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/11
The ageing process is an inescapable part of life, but it is a biological process and must thus have a biologically accessible mechanism. A correlation between accumulated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and ageing has long been discussed, but the generation of the mtDNA-mutator mice indicated ...
The physiology of thermogenesis: acute and adaptive processes in brown adipsoe tissue
Period: 1/1/11 - 12/31/13
Thermogenesis is the use of energy with the purpose of only producing heat, a wasteful process that Nature would normally avoid. Nonetheless, through the process of nonshivering thermogenesis mammals have gained evolutionarily. The purpose of this project is to further our understanding of ...
