The authors verified the effect of a peptidic fraction from mitochondrial DNA on liver cell cultures. Primary cultures treated with the mitochondrial peptidic fraction (final concentration 0.025 O.D./ml) showed a higher viability after 48 hours with respect to cultures without mitochondrial peptidic fraction (p < 0.05). The results indicate a probable action of the mitochondrial peptidic fraction on liver cell viability.
