PEMF and atherosclerosis
•
This post is an ad for a Moodle.com course I’d like to create explaining this PEMF publication. I’ve taken a few online courses and learned so much from the discussion than from the actual course material. This post previews what I know about the methods used to generate the hypothesis that PEMF ameliorates the…

28 kHz PEMF mitochondria
•
This post follows a mitochondria PEMF study partially funded by Hofmeir Magnetics Ltd, Reading, UK, the source of the device. The mitochondrial energetics work was performed by the Austrian not-for-profit organization Trauma Care Consult GmbH. The study sought to establish a mechanism. This study if very unique in the interrogation of various mitochondrial respiratory…

PEMF and complex II
•
succinate dehydrogenase (SDH: SDHA-D), is made up of four protein subunits along with iron-sulfur (FeS) centers. Complex Portal links t the Swiss site UniProt.org. UniPort annotates the amino acid sites of proteins that interact with substrates and cofactors. Toda and coworkers 23023 investigated the effect of optimized extremely low frequency weak magnetic fields (Opti-ELF-WMF)…

Red Light and mitocondria
•
Right light therapy is said to target cytochrome C oxidase, complex IV, of the mitochondria. Most complexes of the mitochondria contain functional groups that absorb one wavelength of visible light or another. Absorption of light may translate into increased membrane potential, which translates into more ATP. This post introduces the role of ATP in…

Skeletal Muscle Autophagy
•
Cleaning up damaged mitochondria is a key function of lysosomes. Skeletal muscle is particularly prone to damage to mitochondria that puts a strain on autophagy such that the lysosome portion of phagosomes needs to be blebbed off and recycled in an alternative pathway. The PIP that regulates CIC7 is phosphorylated on positions [3,5] not…
