Table 1.
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 |
