Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders with widely varying clinical features, due to defects in mitochondrial function. Involvement of both muscle and nerve is common in mitochondrial disease. In some cases, this involvement is subclinical or a minor part of a multisystem diso
## Abstract Abnormalities in mitochondrial function relate to the spectrum of pathological changes seen in Alzheimer's disease. Here we review the causes and consequences of mitochondrial disturbances in Alzheimer's disease as well as how this information might impact on therapeutic approaches to t
