A selective reduction of the fission factor Mtp18 mRNA levels in qPCR analysis was consistently significant at ages 2 days and 18 months for the particularly mitochondria-rich and homogeneous liver tissue, while the effect missed significance for the mixed tissue brain.

red. = reduced by factor; ns = non-significant.
