Perinatal Exposure to Antiretroviral Therapy Is Associated with Increased Blood Mitochondrial DNA Levels and Decreased Mitochondrial Gene Expression in Infants
6 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The effects of perinatal antiretroviral therapy (ART) on infant mitochondrial function are not well known. We compared blood mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels and mtDNA gene expression (mtRNA) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected, ART-exposed infants born to HIV-positive mothers with mtDNA levels and mtDNA gene expression in control infants born to uninfected women. METHODS: In this...
