Statistic analysis of the volume occupied by the skeletal muscle mitochondria: (A) ultrastructure of the muscle fiber near the isotropic region; (B) the isotropic region near the Z-disc is stained black; (C) mitochondria located in the isotropic region are stained gray; (D) The area occupied by mitochondria located within the isotropic region as % of the total isotropic area in the Wistar and OXYS rats; (*) and (**), p<0.05 for effects of age and SkQ1, respectively.
