Abstract

The coenzyme Q8 (CoQ8) and alpha-tocopherol contents of different mitochondrial fractions were investigated from occipital cerebral cortices of different ages. The highest CoQ8 and vitamin E concentrations were found in non-synaptic free mitochondria (FM) fractions. In several cases heavy mitochondria (HM) fractions displayed the lowest values. Occipital cerebral cortex mitochondria contained higher CoQ9 and lower CoQ10 amounts than those typical for other brain regions

Biochemistry & Biophysics focuses on the structure and chemistry of biomolecules and covers all aspects of basic biochemistry/biophysics, including molecular structure, enzyme kinetics and protein-protein interaction; this category also contains cross-disciplinary resources focused on a specific class of biological molecules, e.g., nucleic acids, steroids, magnesium, growth factors, free radicals, bio-membranes, and peptides. Excluded are resources dealing with the application of biochemical techniques to specific topics listed elsewhere in CC/LS. Resources with a strong emphasis on the integration of biochemical pathways (such as signal transduction or molecular motors) at the cellular level are placed in the Cell & Developmental Biology category.
