Fig. 1From: KATP channels and MPTP are involved in the cardioprotection bestowed by chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia in the developing ratEffects of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) on mitochondrial ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), revealed by transmission electron microscopy (×20,000). a Control heart without I/R with normal structure of mitochondria. b control heart with I/R: mitochondria are markedly swollen, and cristae are disrupted, dissolved or have disappeared, and are markedly reduced in number. c, d The mitochondria of the hearts of CIHH28 (28-day CIHH treatment) and CIHH42 (42-day CIHH treatment) rats showed much less I/R injuryBack to article page
