On electron microscopy, the abnormal mitochondria present on the first biopsy specimen had disappeared both in muscle fibers and blood vessels; nearly all mitochondria were morphologically normal at the second biopsy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The abnormal muscle and mitochondrial morphology in a variety of clinical presentations from isolated ophthalmoplegia to severe encephalopathy are also elaborated.[books.google.com]

Abstract A 2-month-old girl had generalized weakness, profound muscular hypotonia, hepatomegaly and severe lactic acidosis. She needed ventilatory support.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, while the mechanism of action of GCs in the treatment of MIDs remains largely unknown, there are indications that GCs act not only in the nucleus but also in mitochondria.( 3, 4 ) Herein, we summarise and discuss the role of GCs in the treatment[smj.org.sg]
