Regional mitochondrial DNA and cell-type changes in post-mortem brains of non-diabetic Alzheimer’s disease are not present in diabetic Alzheimer’s disease
6 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in both diseases, however the impact of both diabetes and AD on brain mitochondria is not known. We measured mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), an indicator of mitochondrial function, in frontal, parietal, and cerebellar regions of post-mortem human brains (n = 74) from non-cognitively impaired controls (NCI),...
