Description:

Muscle segment examination in electron microscopy

Abstract:

A 42-year-old patient with suspected polymyositis was examined. A biceps dexter biopsy was performed. Electron microscopy analysis revealed unchanged muscle fibers and mitochondria structure. Numerous lipid droplets were seen (Fig 1,2). Defect of mitochondrial enzymes was suspected.Biochemical examination of carnitine palmitoyltransferase was performed and the result was 0,37 nM/mgB/min (norm 6,5-18 nM/mgB/min.). Carnitine level in the muscle was 13,79 nM/mgB (norm 17-48 nM/mgB).
