A study of a family with inherited disease of cardiac and skeletal muscle. Part II. Skeletal muscle morphology and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Skeletal muscle morphology and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity were examined in a family whose members showed very combinations of mental subnormality, cardiomyopathy and muscle weakness. Light and electron microscopic findings suggested a neuropathic process, while tests of mitochondrial function indicated a state of tight coupling of oxidative phosphorylation, a feature in marked contrast to those in biochemical studies so far reported.
