Right quadriceps muscle biopsy (6-μm-thick cryostatic sections, 10×). (A) H-E: moderate fiber caliber variability and diffuse mild fibrosis; (B) Trichrome of Gomori: absence of mitochondrial accumulation; (C) NADH-Tr: no oxidative enzymes change; (D) ATPase pH 4.3: a clear predominance of type I (dark) fibers, which show diameters smaller than those of type 2 fibers (clear).
