Mitochondrial abnormalities in some human muscular diseases and in experimental ischemic myopathy

Abstract

Morphologic abnormalities have been observed in two cases of human polymyositis and in three cases of ocular myopathies. Similar findings can be observed in experimental ischemic myopathy. "Ragged red" fibres, with anomalous distribution of oxidative enzymes, mitochondrial alterations, with presence of intracristal paracrystalline inclusions and degenerative myofibrillar changes are the similar features. The similarity between some of these alterations, expecially mitochondrial changes, is remarkable, but it is difficult to correlate them to the primary etiology of described human myopathies.
