Example sentences for: peroxisomes

How can you use “peroxisomes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Alternatively, peroxisomes might be involved in membrane breakdown in the mitochondrial degeneration process.

  • Peroxisomes could provide the new membranes by either synthesis of lipids or fusing themselves with the vacuolar membrane.

  • Peroxisomes shorten chains of very long fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids and branched fatty acids by β-oxidation [ 60 61 ] . They play critical roles in synthesis of ether phospholipids and cholesterol [ 62 63 ] . Peroxisomal abundance is associated with high membrane demand such as myelination in the central nervous system [ 64 65 ] and peroxisome diseases result in defective myelination [ 66 ] . Because the outer mitochondrial membrane normally tightly wraps around mitochondria, the extension of the outer membrane during vacuolation requires new membranes.

  • This suggests that peroxisomes actively participate in the vacuole formation but lysosomes do not play a significant role.

  • The absence of matrix expansion and the involvement of peroxisomes but not lysosomes together indicate that mutant SOD1-induced mitochondrial vacuolation is neither MPT nor autophagy.
