Vastus lateralis muscle cells of patients with COPD present reduced mitochondrial fractional area, number, and enzyme activities, resulting in loss of oxidative capacity, which can help to explain the peripheral muscle dysfunction that is a hallmark of COPD ( via both permeability transition pore-dependent and independent mechanisms, and this liberation is associated with apoptotic cell death ( Mitochondrial structure changes, such as a less dense matrix, loss of cristae, and mitochondrial cavity appearance have also been observed in experimental models of asthma induced by ovalbumin ( Similarly, experimental models and human samples of pulmonary fibrosis demonstrated an increased number of mitochondria with either a swollen appearance or disorganized cristae in pulmonary epithelial cells ( Mitochondrial Dynamics The mechanisms involved in mitochondrial membrane remodeling, termed mito-dynamics, include fusion and fission, which are tightly associated with homeostasis adjustment (43)
