Circulating Cell Free Mitochondrial DNA is a Biomarker in the Development of Coronary Heart Disease in the Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating cell-free mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA) is presumably derived from injured tissue or cells in the body and has been suggested to be a potential biomarker in several diseases. In the present study, we investigated whether ccf-mtDNA levels could serve as a biomarker of diabetic patients without Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and correlate with their incidence to develop CHD. METHODS: Ccf-mtDNA levels in...
