Abstract: | Extensive contact sites between the two mitochondrial membranes are visualized particularly when tissues are prepared by freeze-substitution methods for electron microscopy. Such contacts rapidly diminish if animals are asphyxiated even for a relatively short period of 8 min. Thus contacts between the mitochondrial membranes are likely to be labile. |
