Criteria used to calculate mitochondrial damage score

Damage Score Morphological Appearance
0 Well-defined and organized membranes and cristae
1 Minor distortions and/or swellings, but general organization retained
2 Major distortions and/or swellings and discontinuous membranes and cristae
3 Membranes and cristae dissociated into particulates to produce diffuse mitochondrial ghosts
4 Only a few mitochondrial remnants in cells
