Sergey Korotkov researches the effects of heavy metals (Tl+, Cd2+), as well as Y3+, lanthanides (La3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Gd3+) and some xenobiotics (diazoxide, pinacidil) on the properties of isolated rat and heart mitochondria. Oxygen consumption rate (respiration) is studied in experiments with energized mitochondria being in various energetic states of 4, 3, and 3UDNP (uncoupled […]

My main scientific interests are linked with neuronal pathological states, especially excitotoxicity. It is a term that describes the neuronal death caused by neurotoxic effects of glutamate, which is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system. Glutamate is well known to be involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory, but […]
