Mitochondrial differentiation during meiosis of male germ cells.

Abstract excerpt

In male germ cells mitochondria undergo dramatic morphological changes during spermatogenesis, at least three different types of mitochondrion being present. The usual cristae type of mitochondrion in spermatogonia, preleptotene and leptotene spermatocytes develops, via an intermediate form in zygotene spermatocytes, to the condensed form with almost no cristae which is typical of pachytene spermatocytes and...
