Summary

Intramitochondrial myelin-like structures were found in ventricular myocardial cells of the rat heart. These inclusions were found in both the first 2 postnatal weeks and in senescent stages. The origin of such myelin-like structures could be related to an age-dependent metabolic change, specifically to an inability to oxidize long-chain fatty acids described in both periods.
