Activity-dependent changes in mitochondrial calcium uptake in single FDB fibers from Cmpt mice. (A) Representative image of rhod-2 AM fluorescence in a live Cmpt FDB fiber at rest. (B) Average (± SEM) change of normalized mitochondrial fluorescence (Fmito) calculated as (FI–band – FA–band)/FA–band in WT and Cmpt FDB fibers at rest, following 1, and 5 consecutive tetani (n = 8 cells, N = 3 mice). Note the tendency of mitochondrial calcium accumulation and the higher starting values of the normalized Fmito observed in Cmpt. (C) Mitochondrial fluorescence measured along the line arbitrarily drawn in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the WT (black) and Cmpt (red) fiber at rest (a), following the first (b), and the fifth consecutive tetanus (c). * denotes significant difference between WT and Cmpt at p < 0.05.
