Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA-encoded tRNA genes are associated with many human diseases. Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) by synthetic agonists stimulates oxidative metabolism, induces an increase in mitochondrial mass and partially compensates for oxidative pho...
