Figure 5

Photomicrographs of electron microscopy of diaphragm. In C-SAL, C-Gln, and CLP-Gln groups the mitochondria (M) and Z bands (ZB) are well preserved. Asterisk indicates apoptosis in nucleus of muscle. Note the presence of disorganized Z bands (circle) and oedema between muscle fibres in CLP-SAL group. Photomicrographs are representative of data obtained from diaphragm section derived from five animals. C = control; CLP = cecal ligation and puncture; Gln = glutamine; SAL = saline.
