Figure 3. Decreased mitochondrial size and density in aged mice. Each bar represents the mean ± SD. *p<0.05. **p<0.01 ***p<0.001 (A) Representative images of electron microscopy from FDB longitudinal slices from mice from the different groups (B) number of mitochondria per image area (98 μm²) is significantly increased in the adult group. (C) Mitochondria size is significantly diminished in the young and old groups (D) mitochondrial density, given by area of mitochondria/ area of tissue significantly decreased in old stages of life in mice.
