Muscle segment examination in light and electron microscopy

Subject and Keywords:

Metabolic defect

Abstract:

A 35-year-old patient with suspected metabolic defect was examined. A biopsy of quadriceps sinis-ter was performed. Electron microscopy did not reveal significant changes in muscle fibers architecture, but damaged mitochondria partially devoid of mitochondrial cristae were seen. Also quite numerous fat droplets were observed. A microscopic image suggests defect of mitochondrial enzymes. Biochemical examination of car-nitine palmitoyltransferase in the muscle tissue was performed and the result was 0,15 nM/mgB/min (Norm 6,5-18 nM/mgB/min).
