Résumé

En microscopie électronique l'etuee de la carnitine acétyltransférase a montré une même localisation dans les mitochondries du foie et du muscle cardiaque de souris. La grande différence d'activité que décèlent les méthodes biochimiques entre ces deux types de mitochondries peut donc être attribuée simplement à la présence 'und nombre beaucoup plus grand de crêtes dans les mitochondries du muscle cardiaque.
