Extraocular muscle mitochondria have a lower respiratory capacity: evidence for intrinsic differences in mitochondrial composition and function

PURPOSE: The constant activity of the extraocular muscles is supported by abundant mitochondria. These organelles could enhance energy production by increasing the content of respiratory complexes. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that extraocular muscle mitochondria respire faster than those fro...
