Uncouplers of Oxidative Phosphorylation and Mitochondrial Poisons - Biochemistry

Explore the intricacies of uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial poisons in this comprehensive 17-minute biochemistry video. Delve into the electron transport chain (ETC), mitochondrial function, and the Krebs cycle (also known as TCA or citric acid cycle). Examine the processes of oxidative and substrate-level phosphorylation, as well as the roles of key molecules like acetyl CoA, ADP, and ATP in energy production. Learn about the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and understand the importance of NAD, NADH, FAD, and FADH2 in cellular respiration. Discover the effects of uncoupling agents such as thermogenin and dinitrophenol, and explore the impact of common substances like aspirin, alcohol, and salicylates on mitochondrial function. Gain insights into cyanide and carbon monoxide poisoning, metabolic acidosis, and the blood-brain barrier. Perfect for healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and dentists seeking to enhance their biochemistry knowledge.
