Abstract excerpt
Since mitochondria occupy a pivotal position in energy metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction is directly linked with disturbances in cellular function. Mitochondria possess their own DNA, which codes 13 subunits of the mitochondrial energy transducing system; the other subunits are coded by nuclear DNA.
