| Abstract | The microheterogeneous nature of intrasynaptic mitochondria has been demonstrated and iswidely accepted. However, evidence is still lacking about the role played by the differentintrasynaptic mitochondrial subpopulations. The data obtained support the hypothesis that“heavy” mitochondria could represent old mitochondrial populations: in fact, in addition tothe well known impairment of typical mitochondrial functions, they possess the highest levelsof hydroperoxides and their fatty acids pattern is completely modified. The qualitative andquantitative fatty acid modifications suffered by these organelles deeply altered theirprotein/lipid ratio, thus modifying their mode of action. The present work also collects a large bodyof evidence that a subchronic L-acetylcarnitine treatment in 28 days does not structurallyaffect both nonsynaptic and intrasynaptic mitochondria of normal rat in a“steady-state”metabolic condition. |
