  • Title: Abnormal muscle mitochondria in ischemic claudication.
    Author: Marbini A, Gemignani F, Scoditti U, Rustichelli P, Bragaglia MM, Govoni E.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Belg; 1986; 86(5):304-10. PubMed ID: 3811830.
    Abstract:
    The gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles findings in 18 patients with chronic arterial insufficiency were reviewed with regard to mitochondrial changes. Prominent mitochondrial alterations were present in eight out of 18 patients. The comparison of clinical data between patients with and without mitochondrial changes revealed that in this latter group all patients were at stage IV, whereas the degree of ischemic disease was milder in the other group: the difference in distribution of patients at stage IV between the two groups was statistically significant. This supports the view that mitochondrial changes are expression of adaptive modification rather than damage.
