Mitochondrial Morphological Changes Occur with Loss of Pim: Deletion of Pim- 1, -2, and -3 (PTKO) results in metabolic dysfunction and premature aging, concurrent with morphological changes in mitochondria of PTKO mouse hearts. Evidence of disrupted mitochondrial cristae, decreased mitochondrial area and vacuoles presented one month after birth in PTKO hearts (right) as compared to FVB wild type mice (left). These findings were concomitant with changes in mitochondrial biogenesis and function of PTKO mice. Scale bar: 2um |
