ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Mice with mtDNA ND6 P25L mutation display reduction in retinal function by elecroretinogram, age-related decline in central smaller caliber optic nerve fibers with sparing of larger peripheral fibers, neuronal accumulation of abnormal mitochondria, axonal swelling, and demyelination mostly due to oxidative stress
