Secreted growth differentiation factor 15 as a potential biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunctions in aging and age‐related disorders
1 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
We and other have recently shown that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a useful diagnostic marker for mitochondrial diseases, which are inherited disorders caused by mitochondrial or nuclear genomic mutations that lead to impaired energy production. As the primary cause of mitochondrial diseases is mitochondrial dysfunction, the blood level of GDF15 might reflect mitochondrial function in patients, and...
