In addition, mitochondria DNA abnormalities have been reported to be correlated with aging through ROS which eventually resulted in cell senescence. We previously reported that cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA) expressed more abundant cell senescent markers including p16 and p21, compared to other hormone-producing adenomas. However, ...
