Mitochondrial DNA copy number is associated with cognitive function, cognitive decline, and dementia: a longitudinal study in UK Biobank
2025-04-12
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are the principal generators of ATP, playing a crucial role in brain health. Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) is a proxy for mitochondrial function and has been linked to cognitive function and impairment.
