Hypoxia and Inflammation as a Consequence of β-Fibril Accumulation: A Perspective View for New Potential Therapeutic Targets

Figure 3

Aspects of myocardial atrial amyloidosis with intracellular accumulation of β-fibrils constituted of polymerized ANP (atrial natriuretic factor) peptides. (a) An advanced disorganization of the cytoplasm is evident due to the displacement of the various cytoplasmic components. (b) High-magnification detail of 10 nm β-fibril aggregate.
