The peculiarities of intermitochondrial contacts during ontogenetic formation of mitochondria network in normal and under hypoxic damage of cardiogenesis

The aim of this work was to determine the formation of intermitochondrial contacts during ontogenesis of mitochondrial reticulum and to evaluate the degree of mitochondria associations under the influence of prenatal hypoxia. In the present study, we analyzed that in normal conditions the number of intermitochondrial contacts was different in areas of the cell and changed to the stages of ontogeny. Influence of intrauterine hypoxia and oxidative stress leads to mitochondrial reactions that affects to the formation between organelles intermitochondrial contacts in the sub-sarcolemmal, intermyoflbrillar and paranuclear regions of ventricle cardiomyocytes.
