Mitochondrial biogenesis within muscle consists of two possible mutually inclusive alterations: [ 1 ] an increase in mitochondrial content per gram of tissue and/or [ 2 ] a change in mitochondrial composition, with an alteration in mitochondrial protein-to-lipid ratio (4).ne of the most fascinating aspects of mitochondrial synthesis is that it requires the cooperation of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes (Figure-1). Mitochondria are unique in the fact that they house multiple copies of a small circular DNA molecule (mtDNA) comprising 16,659 nucleotides.
Mitochondria carry their own separate DNA (mtDNA) that is independent of the nuclear DNA of the same cell. Human mtDNA is composed of 37 genes totaling about 16,000 base pairs. This mtDNA also mutates at a much faster rate than nuclear DNA (nucDNA) does.ince there were no DNA changes due to genetic recombination events (ie: with paternal DNA-now known to be a wrong assumption), they assumed that all changes in the mtDNA were the result of mutations over time and that these mutations occurred at a constant rate.
