Percentage of vacuolated mitochondria, mitochondria density, mitochondria and mitochondrial vacuole size (major axis) were evaluated. For mitochondria density analysis, the total number of mitochondria in single TEM sections were counted, and based on the scale bar, the number of mitocondria per unit area (µm2) was calculated. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the number of analyzed mitochondria or analyzed sections in the case of mitochondria density. Data are shown as mean ± SEM.***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, N.S. p > 0,05 (Student’s t-test).
