Figure 1
Transmission electron micrograph showing mitochondria (m) and myofibrils (mf) of the cardiac muscle tissues (x8200). (a) C group showing normal architecture of cardiac tissue, (b) CTx group showing normal architecture of cardiac tissue, (c) D group showing increase of mitochondria size, disarrangement of myofibrils, and patchy areas of cytoplasmic spaces (d) DTx group showing a normal architecture of cardiac tissue with less cytoplasmic spaces. Single headed arrows = cytoplasmic spaces, s = sarcomere.
