Abstract excerpt
Here we investigated the pathogenesis of deletion mutant mitochondrial (mt)DNA by generating mice with mutant mtDNA carrying a 4696-basepair deletion (DeltamtDNA4696), and by using cytochrome c oxidase (COX) electron micrographs to identify COX activity at the individual mitochondrial level. All mitochondria in tissues with DeltamtDNA4696 showed normal COX activity until DeltamtDNA4696 accumulated predominantly;...
