Electron microscopy study in neonatal SHRs and WKYs. Effects of hypertension development in mitochondria of renal cortical cortices of newborn SHR (a) and WKY (b), 4-week-old SHR (c) and WKY (d), and 8-week-old SHR (e) and WKY (f). Note that the mitochondria present dilated mitochondrial crestae (arrows; c and e) in the tubules of SHRs. Convoluted distal tubules of WKYs (b, d and f) showing normal ultrastructure were included for comparison. Magnification: 60,000 (a), 58,000 (b), 70,000 (c, d and f), and 65,000 (e)
