Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are heterogeneous disorders due to impaired respiratory chain function causing defective ATP production. Although the disruption of oxidative phosphorylation is central to the MD pathophysiology, other factors may contribute to these disorders. We investigated the expression and the cellular localization of TNF-α and its receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, in muscle biopsies from 15 patients...
