Apolipoprotein E gene in the Metabolic Syndrome (APOMET)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is closely linked to disturbances in lipid and glucose metabolism and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One-fourth of the adult European population has the MetS and a further increase is anticipated because a greater prevalence of obesity in the future. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) associates with lipoproteins and mediates theirmetabolism. ...

MITOCHONDRIAL RESPIRATORY CHAIN ASSEMBLY (MRCA)

Start date: Apr 10, 2009, End date: Jun 8, 2014,

"Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the metabolic process that provides most of the energy usable by the cells. OXPHOS couples two sets of reactions, respiration and ATP synthesis. Respiration consists in the sequential transfer of electrons carried out by the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) complexes I (CI), II (CII), III (CIII), and IV (CIV). The proton gradient generated during respira ...
