Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Mitochondria play an important role in cellular metabolism, and their dysfunction is postulated to be involved in metabolic disturbances. Mitochondrial DNA is present in multiple copies per cell. The quantification of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA‐CN) might be used to assess mitochondrial dysfunction. Objectives We aimed to investigate the cross‐sectional association of mtDNA‐CN with...
