“Hyperglycemic Memory”: Permanent Cellular Damage in a Transient Insult - A Mitochondrial Perspective highlighted during Targeting Mitochondria 2011

As presented by Dr J. Teodoro from Center of Neurosciences and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, Portugal, during the 2nd World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria, hyperglycemic memory, in mouse myoblasts, results in permanent damage to cellular structures, namely mitochondria and its metabolism. Dissipation of the excess pool of nutrients and membrane potential prevents the deleterious effects of hyperglycemia.
