Abstract excerpt
Extensive tissue oxygenation in the mitochondrial myopathy patients caused by the mitochondrial DNA mutations was first demonstrated noninvasively by a tissue oxymeter measuring near infrared light. The extent of oxygenation of the tissue due to dysfunction of mitochondria correlated with the seriousness of mitochondrial DNA mutations resulting in defects in oxidative phosphorylation system, and causing...
