ABSTRACT
The human mitochondrial genome consists of approximate 1500 genes, among which 37 are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the remainder encoded in the nuclear DNA (nDNA). The mitochondria produces large amount of the cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS induces the mutations of mtDNA and mtDNA, which are associated with a wide range of age-related diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiomyopathy, diabetes and various cancers.
