Muscle segment examination in light & electron microscopy

Abstract:

A 56-year-old patient with suspected metabolic myopathy was examined. A biopsy of biceps sinisterwas performed.Muscle fibers with fairly well preserved morphology, however, serious damage within themitochondria was observed. They were characterized by lack of cristae and a light mitochondrialmatrix. On the periphery of the fibers, excessive glycogen accumulation was observed.Biochemical analysis revealed normal phosphorylase and phosphofructokinase activity and did notprovide an explanation for the glycogen accumulation phenomenon
