Mitochondrial genomic contribution to mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract excerpt

Although mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress are found in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the origin(s) of the mitochondrial dysfunction, its causal relationship to oxidative stress and the mechanisms of their downstream effects to yield synaptic dysfunction and neuronal death are not known with certainty. The discovery of "classic" mitochondrial diseases where bioenergetic deficiencies were...
