Muscle segment examination in light & electron microscopy
A 26-year-old patient with suspected limb-girdle muscular dystrophy was examined. A biopsy ofquadriceps was performed.Muscle fibers showed normal structure and architecture but electronmicroscopy analysisrevealed significant changes in mitochondria - they were characterized by bright mitochondrialmatrix and were partially or even totally devoid of mitochondrial cristae. Fat droplets were observedwithin the muscle fibers.A defect of mitochondrial enzymes was suspected. Biochemical evaluation of carnitinepalmitoyltransferase in the muscle tissue is advisable.
