The association between mitochondrial DNA copy number, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease risk
2022-10-25
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are the primary organelle to generate cellular energy. Our group and others have reported that lower mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes (CVD) and higher LDL levels. However, the causal relationship between mtDNA CN and CVD remains to be studied. Here we performed cross-sectional and prospective association analyses of blood-derive...
