Description:

Muscle segment examination in light and electron microscopy

Abstract:

A 33-year-old patient with suspected myopathy was examined. A biopsy of quadriceps sinister was performed. Muscle fibers showed almost unchanged architecture and normal nuclei located under the sarcolemma but abundant lipofuscin deposits were observed. Altered and swollen mitochondria were seen, some of them were partially or even totally devoid of mitochondrial cristae. In some muscle fibers crystalline inclusions in the mitochondria were observed. Biochemical evaluation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase in the muscle tissue was performed and the result was 4,55 nM/mgB/min. (Norm 6,5-18 nM/mgB/min.).
