Current evidence suggests that disturbed phosphatidylcholine (PC) turnover causes skeletal muscle dysfunction. However, the enzyme that converts lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to glycerophosphocholine (GPC), an irreversible checkpoint in PC catabolism, in skeletal muscle has remained unidentified. Here we show that PNPL...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that urgently requires effective treatment. Mitochondrial dysfunction underlies ALS pathology and represents a potential therapeutic target. Here, we demonstrated the therapeutic potential of mitochonic acid 5 (MA-5), a novel mitochondria-targeted...
It is demonstrated that chronic stress disrupts central energy metabolism at prefrontal cortical synapses, driving to synaptic pathology and behavioral vulnerability and highlighting synaptic metabolic pathways as promising pharmacological targets for the treatment of stress-related psychiatric disorders.
