Mitochondrial Antioxidant SkQ1 Has a Beneficial Effect in Experimental Diabetes as Based on the Analysis of Expression of microRNAs and mRNAs for the Oxidative Metabolism Regulators
Diabetes mellitus and related complications are among the most important problems of the world-leading healthcare systems. Despite their priority, molecular and genetic aspects of diabetes pathogenesis are poorly understood; however, the involvement of oxidative stress in this process is undoubted....
