ROS-Induced DNA Damage Associates with Abundance of Mitochondrial DNA in White Blood Cells of the Untreated Schizophrenic Patients

Figure 1

Leukocytes from unmedicated SZ patients with acute psychosis are enriched with mtDNA. Graph—Quantification of mtDNA in leukocytes of HC (green), SZ (m−) (red), and SZ (m+) (yellow) groups. The data in each group is ranked by the value of mtDNA CN. The mean and standard deviation for each DNA sample is given (the data of two independent experiments, three measurements in each experiment, ). Table contains statistical data.
