title: Mitochondrial abnormalities in fibroblast line GM3093 defective in oxidative metabolism.
abstract: Fibroblast line GM3093 deficient in the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, was derived from a patient reported to have an inherited defect affecting the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Our results suggest a generalized defect consisting of few and abnormal mitochondria and low activities of all mitochondrial enzymes examined.
