The number of mtDNA copies in three regions of the rat brain increases with a simultaneous increase in mtDNA heteroplasmy. However, in the hippocampus, the copy number of mutant mtDNAs increases significantly by the time point of 24 h after radiation exposure. Our analysis shows that in the brain regions of irradiated rats, there is a decrease in the expression of genes (ND2, CytB, ATP5O) involved in ATP synthesis, although by the same time point after irradiation, an increase in transcripts of genes regulating mitochondrial biogenesis is observed. On the o
