Reduced peripheral blood mtDNA content is associated with impaired glucose‐stimulated islet β cell function in a Chinese population with different degrees of glucose tolerance

摘要

AimsOur aim is to explore the associations between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and basal plasma glucose, plasma glucose after oral glucose administration and oxidative stress in a Chinese population with different levels of glucose tolerance. We also aimed to investigate the effect of mtDNA content on basal and oral glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion.
