Figure 4

Transmission electron microscopy of wild-type and hAPP-expressing flight muscle. Dorsal longitudinal flight muscles (DLFM) from control (w1118, A) and hAPP (B) transgenic flies at three weeks of age. TTM muscles from control (w1118, C) and hAPP (D) transgenic animals at three weeks of age. Asterisks = mitochondria; Arrowheads = Z bands; Arrows = sarcoplasmic reticulum. Scale bar = 1 μm. Note that variations in the plane of section contribute to apparent changes in the sizes of some ultrastructural components.
