Mitochondrial DNA Copy Numbers in Pyramidal Neurons are Decreased and Mitochondrial Biogenesis Transcriptome Signaling is Disrupted in Alzheimer's Disease Hippocampi
31 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of adult-onset dementia and is characterized in its pre-diagnostic stage by reduced cerebral cortical glucose metabolism and in later stages by reduced cortical oxygen uptake, implying reduced mitochondrial respiration. Using quantitative PCR we determined the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene copy numbers from multiple groups of 15 or 20 pyramidal neurons, GFAP(+)...
