1.
Kunz L, Straka H
Front Neurol . 2024 Dec; 15:1469926. PMID: 39655161
Background: Energetic aspects of neuronal activity have become a major focus of interest given the fact that the brain among all organs dominates the oxygen consumption. At variance with the...

Palandt N, Resch C, Unterlechner P, Voshagen L, Winhart V, Kunz L
J Neurochem . 2024 Mar; 168(5):663-676. PMID: 38439211
Neurons exhibit a high energetic need, and the question arises as how they metabolically adapt to changing activity states. This is relevant for interpreting functional neuroimaging in different brain areas....

Ozugur S, Chavez M, Sanchez-Gonzalez R, Kunz L, Nickelsen J, Straka H
STAR Protoc . 2022 Mar; 3(2):101250. PMID: 35313711
Oxygen in vertebrates is generally provided through respiratory organs and blood vessels. This protocol describes transcardial injection, vascular distribution, and accumulation of phototrophic microalgae in the brain of tadpoles. Following...

Ozugur S, Chavez M, Sanchez-Gonzalez R, Kunz L, Nickelsen J, Straka H
iScience . 2021 Nov; 24(10):103158. PMID: 34755084
Neuronal activity in the brain depends on mostly aerobic generation of energy equivalents and thus on a constant O supply. Oxygenation of the vertebrate brain has been optimized during evolution...

Missel A, Walenta L, Eubler K, Mundt N, Heikela H, Pickl U, et al.
Mol Hum Reprod . 2021 May; 27(7). PMID: 33993290
Extracellular ATP has been described to be involved in inflammatory cytokine production by human testicular peritubular cells (HTPCs). The ectonucleotidases ENTPD1 and NT5E degrade ATP and have been reported in...
6.
Gotz S, Bribian A, Lopez-Mascaraque L, Gotz M, Grothe B, Kunz L
Glia . 2020 Aug; 69(2):346-361. PMID: 32809228
Astrocyte heterogeneity is increasingly recognized, but still little is known about juxtavascular astrocytes with their somata directly adjacent to blood vessels, despite their importance after brain injury. As juxtavascular astrocytes...

Ozugur S, Kunz L, Straka H
BMC Biol . 2020 Jul; 18(1):76. PMID: 32615976
Background: Neuronal computations related to sensory and motor activity along with the maintenance of spike discharge, synaptic transmission, and associated housekeeping are energetically demanding. The most efficient metabolic process to...

Hack C, Buck T, Bagnjuk K, Eubler K, Kunz L, Mayr D, et al.
Antioxidants (Basel) . 2019 Nov; 8(11). PMID: 31671815
Recent studies showed that KGN cells, derived from a human granulosa cell tumor (GCT), express NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), an important source of HO. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2)...

Schmid N, Flenkenthaler F, Stockl J, Dietrich K, Kohn F, Schwarzer J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 Oct; 9(1):15052. PMID: 31636313
There is evidence for an age-related decline in male reproductive functions, yet how the human testis may age is not understood. Human testicular peritubular cells (HTPCs) transport sperm, contribute to...

Bagnjuk K, Kast V, Tiefenbacher A, Kaseder M, Yanase T, Burges A, et al.
J Ovarian Res . 2019 Aug; 12(1):76. PMID: 31412918
Background: Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are derived from proliferating granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle. They are known for their late recurrence and most patients with an aggressive form die...
