  • Title: The occurrence of paracrystalline mitochondrial inclusions in normal human skeletal muscle.
    Author: Hammersen F, Gidlöf A, Larsson J, Lewis DH.
    Journal: Acta Neuropathol; 1980; 49(1):35-41. PubMed ID: 6243837.
    Abstract:
    Two different types of paracrystalline mitochondrial inclusions identical with or very similar to those already described in the literature for a variety of muscle diseases were found in human skeletal muscle biopsies obtained under general anesthesia before ischemia and after various periods of anoxia up to 150 min. As these crystalloids could be observed in seven of 14 healthy subjects and occurred in five of these seven cases either before or only 10 min after onset of ischemia, it is suggested that such mitochondrial inclusions develop not only under the influence of variant noxious stimuli, but may also represent a normal constituent of human skeletal muscle mitochondria.
