Protective Effects of the Segmental Renal Artery Clamping Technique on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in db/db Diabetic Mice

Figure 6

Ratios for long/short axis of mitochondria in different groups 24 h after the surgery. The size and ratios for long/short axis of 10 mitochondria randomly in each group were measured, and a histogram was made. The long axis size of mitochondria was almost 3 to 4 times as the short axis size in sham group and nonischemic area (SRAC group). However, the long/short axis ratio in RAC group and ischemic area (SRAC group) was close to 1.
