Effects of Air Pollution and Blood Mitochondrial DNA Methylation on Markers of Heart Rate Variability

Effects of Air Pollution and Blood Mitochondrial DNA Methylation on Markers of Heart Rate Variability

BackgroundThe mitochondrion is the primary target of oxidative stress in response to exogenous environments. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is independent from nuclear DNA and uses separate epigenetic machinery to regulate mtDNA methylation. The mtDNA damage induced by oxidative stress can cause mitochon...
