Abstract excerpt
Mito-mice carrying various proportions of deletion mutant mtDNA (DeltamtDNA) were generated by introduction of the DeltamtDNA from cultured cells into fertilized eggs of C57BL/6J (B6) strain mice. Great advantages of mito-mice are that they share exactly the same nuclear-genome background, and that their genetic variations are restricted to proportions of pathogenic DeltamtDNA. Since accumulation of DeltamtDNA to...
