Mitochondrial Epigenetic Changes Link to Increased Diabetes Risk and Early‐Stage Prediabetes Indicator
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by mitochondrial derangement and oxidative stress. With no known cure for T2D, it is critical to identify mitochondrial biomarkers for early diagnosis of prediabetes and disease prevention. Here we examined 87 participants on the diagnosis power of fasting glucose (FG) and hemoglobin A1c levels and investigated their interactions with mitochondrial DNA methylation. FG and...
