Plasma mitochondrial DNA is elevated in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and correlates positively with insulin resistance
10 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Cells damaged by mechanical or infectious injury release proinflammatory mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragments into the circulation. We evaluated the relation between plasma levels of mtDNA fragments in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and measures of chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. In 10 obese T2DM patients and 12 healthy control (HC) subjects, we measured levels of plasma cell-free...
