Muscle fibres: applications for the study of the metabolic consequences of enzyme deficiencies in skeletal muscle.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial function in saponin-permeabilized muscle fibres can be studied by high-resolution respirometry, laser-excited fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy. We applied these techniques to study metabolic effects of changes in the pattern of mitochondrial enzymes in skeletal muscle of patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia or Kearns-Sayre syndrome harbouring large-scale...
