Popis: Our aim was to evaluate in a cohort of 125 Italian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who underwent neurological evaluation, the possible differences in the number of mitochondrial DNA copies (mtDNA) comparing positive and negative patients for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) or diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and comparing them with healthy controls.
