Platelet mitochondrial DNA methylation predicts future cardiovascular outcome in adults with overweight and obesity
17 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is proven, but why some adults with obesity develop CVD while others remain disease-free is poorly understood. Here, we investigated whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation in platelets is altered prior to CVD development in a population of adults with overweight and obesity. METHODS: We devised a nested case-control study of 200...
