Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial (mt) DNA is damaged by free radicals. Recent data also show that there are cell type-dependent differences in mtDNA repair capacity. In this study, we explored the effects of xanthine oxidase (XO), which generates superoxide anion directly, and menadione, which enhances superoxide production within mitochondria, on mtDNA in pulmonary arterial (PA), microvascular (MV), and pulmonary venous (PV)...
