New insights into vascular aging: Emerging role of mitochondria function

Abstract excerpt

Vascular aging, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, contributes to morbidity and mortality in older people. Mitochondria play an important role in vascular aging. In endothelial and smooth muscle cells, multiple changes in the mitochondrial structure and function contribute to aging, including the effects of mitochondrial oxidative stress, mitochondrial DNA mutations, mitochondrial dynamics, and...
