RETRACTED ARTICLE:Exercise-induced mitochondrial p53 repairs mtDNA mutations in mutator mice

Background Human genetic disorders and transgenic mouse models have shown that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and telomere dysfunction instigate the aging process. Epidemiologically, exercise is associated with greater life expectancy and reduced risk of chronic diseases. While the beneficial effects of exercise are well established, the molecular mechanisms instigating these observations remain unclear. Results Endurance exercise reduces...
