Figure 1 Electron micrograph of rat myocardium from the sham operated (SO) group (× 14000).

Figure 2 Electron micrograph of rat myocardium from the BDL1 group. The mitochondria appear swollen, with indistinct outer membranes and obscured cristae (× 21000).

Figure 3 Electron micrograph of rat myocardium from the BDL2 group. Mitochondria appear distorted and curdled, with indistinct outer membranes and cristae (× 21000).

Figure 4 Electron micrograph of myocardium from sodium cholate-fed rats. The number of mitochondria are decreased and appear distorted, with indistinct outer membranes and cristae (× 21000).
