OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of antiretroviral treatment on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HIV-1-infected patients. DESIGN: As absolute mtDNA copy numbers widely differ between individuals, we performed a longitudinal analysis where the patient's first historical specimen was obtained as a baseline reference for relative comparison with subsequent...
