Increase in mitochondrial DNA mutation deletions in the distal end of sciatic nerve was prevented by EQ treatment. Mitochondrial DNA mutation deletion was measured in the distal end of sciatic nerve and the apical cardiac tissue in db/+-vehicle (n = 8 per group), db/db-EQ (n = 5 per group) and db/db–vehicle mice (n = 8 per group). The deletion burden in distal end of sciatic nerve was higher in db/db-vehicle mice compared with db/+ -vehicle mice at 12 weeks age. This impairment was partially prevented with EQ treatment. However, the deletion burden in the apical cardiac tissue was not different among the groups. Bars represent means ± SEM.
