However, the myocardial ultrastructure of diabetic and/or SOD2+/- hearts were well-protected and improved by APS treatment, which was characterized by integrated mitochondria, regular sarcomeres, intact endoplasmic reticulum, and undisrupted chondriosome. Moreover, APS-treated diabetic and/or SOD2 + /- myocardium exhibited parallel arrangements and practically normal shapes of mitochondria with integrated mitochondrial membrane and cristae, and less abundance of peroxisomes (Figure 1).
