- Mitochondrial function and acetyl-L-carnitine neuroprotectionPublication . Cunha, Lídia; Bravo, Joana; Gonçalves, Raquel; Metello, Luís F.; Rodrigues, Adriano; Summavielle, TeresaMitochondrial dysfunction is involved in a number of chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) has been proposed to confer effective neuroprotection by increasing mitochondria viability, but little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms involved in its action
- Modern and Efficient Management in the Nuclear Medicine Department: the Lean ApproachPublication . Metello, Luís; Rocha, Francisca; Roda, Ana; Capoulas, Miriam; Rodrigues, Adriano; Nunes, Amália; Macedo, Rafael; Cunha, LídiaThere is a worldwide concern in the healthcare systems for increased efficiency. Efficient management tools are thus required to deal with the increased complexity and quality-driven processes characteristics of healthcare. One of them is “Lean Management”, known for adding value to a variety of industries.
- The Role of Mitochondria in Acetyl-L-Carnitine Neuroprotective ActionPublication . Cunha, Lídia; Bravo, Joana; Costa, Pedro; Gonçalves, Raquel; Rodrigues, Catarina; Rodrigues, Adriano; Metello, Luís F.; Summavielle, TeresaIt is widely known that a number of chronic neurodegenerative disorders are related with dysfunctional mitochondria. Although it has been proposed that Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) confers neuroprotection through mitochondria viability improvement, little is known concerning the molecular mechanisms involved. We propose to characterize the action of ALC in mitochondria bioenergetics and functional integrity.
