Mitochondrial protein content, but not mass, is decreased in infected cardiomyocytes and chagasic hearts. A and B, Cardiomyocytes were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi for 0 to 24 hours: (A) citrate synthase activity; (B) Western blotting for CYTB, SDHA, and β-actin; (C) cryostat sections of the heart biopsies from normal healthy donors (a, d, g), chagasic patients (b, e, h), and other cardiomyopathy (OCM) patients (c, f, i) were submitted to immunostaining for ND1 (a-c), CYTB (d-f), and CYPA (g-i) (magnification ×20). Data in all bar graphs are presented as mean±SD. Statistical significance of normally distributed data was analyzed by the Student t test/ANOVA/Tukey's test; *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. In some bar graphs, statistical significance by the nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test is also presented (horizontal dotted line). SD indicates standard deviation; ANOVA, analysis of variance.
