RPS18 and Sepsis: Specifically, we measured mitochondrial DNA (mitochondrially encoded NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 1, mt-ND1, and mitochondrially encoded cytochrome C oxidase subunit III, mt-CO3) and nuclear DNA (nuclear ribosomal protein S18, n-Rps18) in 81 healthy controls and all available samples of 150 intensive care unit patients with sepsis obtained at 3 ± 1 days, 7 ± 1 days, 6 ± 2 months and 12 ± 2 months after sepsis onset.
