Effects of the myoglobin mutation on mitochondrial density and distribution
| WT | myo−/− | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitochondrial density, vol % | 34 ± 2.6 | 31 ± 4.2 | n.s. |
| Perivascular mitochondrial density,* vol % | 32.8 ± 1.9 | 33.2 ± 2.8 | n.s. |
| cytochrome c oxidase, μmol⋅min−1⋅g−1 | 86.6 ± 12.3 | 88.4 ± 19.4 | n.s. |
n = 6 in each group; means ± SD. n.s., not significant.
The perivascular mitochondrial density was determined in the area of 5 μm around capillaries.
