Mitochondrial DNA Depletion in Respiratory Chain–Deficient P arkinson Disease Neurons
25 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent of respiratory chain abnormalities and investigate the contribution of mtDNA to the loss of respiratory chain complexes (CI-IV) in the substantia nigra (SN) of idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) patients at the single-neuron level. METHODS: Multiple-label immunofluorescence was applied to postmortem sections of 10 IPD patients and 10 controls to quantify the abundance of CI-IV...
