Mitochondrial (Mt)Dna Changes in Tissue May Not be Reflected by Depletion of Mtdna in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in HIV-Infected Patients
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Most data on mitochondrial toxicity have been derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). However, whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in PBMCs reflects the mitochondrial state in tissues remains elusive. We report herein on mitochondrial toxicity in skeletal muscle in HIV-infected patients naive to antiretroviral treatment (ART [HIV+ART-naive]; n = 10) patients exposed to...
