Mitochondrial density

Description

Specific mitochondrial density is DmtE = mtEยทmX-1 [mtEUยทkg-1]. If the amount of mitochondria, mtE, is expressed as mitochondrial mass, then DmtE is the mass fraction of mitochondria in the sample. If mtE is expressed as mitochondrial volume, Vmt, and the mass of sample, mX, is replaced by volume of sample, VX, then DmtE is the volume fraction of mitochondria in the sample.

Abbreviation: DmtE
