Markedly different clinical features in 2 diabetes mellitus patients with extremely high tissue levels of the mitochondrial DNA A3243G mutation.
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) A3243G mutation is one of the major causative factors of mitochondrial diabetes mellitus. We found that tissues from 2 of 142 diabetes mellitus patients showed extremely high levels of the mutation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the level of the mutation in each tissue and to find the relationship between the mutation level and clinical features of the patients...
متن کاملLack of Association of Mitochondrial A3243G tRNALeu Mutation in Iranian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Many kinds of mutations in mitochondrial (mt) DNA have been reported to be related to the development of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), this type of diabetes has also been shown to be influenced by other genetic factors and/or environmental factors. Among them, tRNALeu(UUR) and its adjacent mtDNA NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1(ND1) region within the mt genome are linked to high susceptibility to DM. A p...

this study investigated the effects of manipulating the cognitive complexity of tasks along +/- few elements and the time limits on l2 learners writing performance. to conduct the study, 60 iranian efl learners with two levels of proficiency, low and high intermediate, were selected and assigned to three groups based on the time devoted to task completion. the participants performed both a simp...
15 صفحه اولVarying loads of the mitochondrial DNA A3243G mutation in different tissues: implications for diagnosis.
Testing for common mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including the A3243G MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike episodes) mutation, is routinely done in DNA isolated from blood. Since the blood level of the A3243G mutation may be low in probands and even lower in asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic maternal relatives, we assessed the proportion of A3243G mut...
متن کاملIncreased Levels of AIM2 and Circulating Mitochondrial DNA in Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Chronic inflammation has critical role in Type 2 diabetes (T2D), in which IL-1β contributes in insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction. The activation of NLRP3 and AIM2 by endogens ligands, such as mtDNA can lead to the release of active form of IL-1β. Objective: To evaluate AIM2 expression and activation as well as circulating mtDNA levels in T2D patients. Methods: AIM2 expres...
