      The liver is the main detoxifying organ and the primary involved in xenobiotic metabolism in the mammalian body. It is one of the richest organs in terms of the number and density of mitochondria (Chinnery and DiMauro, 2005). In physiological conditions, mitochondria have significant roles in the metabolism and energy regulation as a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that generating approximately 85% of the total cellular superoxide radical (O2•-) (Samarghandian et al., 2016).

      In some infants, liver dysfunction may spontaneously reverse or remain stable, but in some there is rapid progression to cholestasis, coagulopathy, and ascites. Biochemical studies reveal single or multiple respiratory chain enzymes defects, which may be restricted to the liver and remain undetectable in skeletal muscle or skin fibroblasts [6]. Prominent liver involvement is rarely related to primary pathogenic point mutations [32], or single deletions of mtDNA [33], but is most often associated with conditions characterized by reduced amounts of mtDNA in affected tissues and grouped as MDS [34–36].
