Abstract
The effects of early ischemia were studied in the anterior tibial muscle of Sprague-Dawley rats after 2--24 hr of tourniquet compression at the thigh. Ragged-red fibers, moth-eaten fibers, cores and targets were seen in tissue examined by enzyme histochemistry and electron microscopy. Giant mitochondria, abnormalities of cristal arrangement, crystalloids, osmiophilic inclusion bodies and myeloid figures were dominant features of the mitochondrial reaction. The results of this experiment indicate that early ischemia induces a variety of changes described in other neuromuscular conditions such as dystrophy and the "mitochondrial myopathies". The pathogenesis of these changes and their relationship to human disease of muscle is discussed.
