The relationship between mitochondrial length and (A) sarcomere length or (B) mitochondrial width. c is the coefficient of anisotropy (ratio of deformation magnitude between the width-y and thick-z axes) and D is the average mitochondrial diameter. (C) Mitochondrial length and width vs. time during a single contraction cycle. (D) Change in mitochondrial width and calculated thickness vs. time during a single contraction cycle. Data shown is from a representative single cardiomyocyte experiment.
