Table 1. Mitochondrial crista junction diameter and density in rod spherules and cone pedicles: effects of postnatal lead exposure and/or bcl-xl overexpression.

 Name Control Lead Bcl-xL Bcl-xL/Lead
Crista Junction Diameter (nm)
Rod Spherule 12.00±0.39a,b 11.40±0.22c,d 14.10±0.34a,c 13.40±0.50b,d
Cone Pedicle 8.50±0.42a,b 10.90±0.60a 9.20±0.33c 10.30±0.40b,c
Crista Junction Density (number of CJs /mm2)
Rod Spherule 54±7 74±17 58±8 48±20
Cone Pedicle 56±18 72±19 65±13 61±18

Values represent mean±SEM measurements from three to six different mice from different litters per treatment. For rod spherules, 85–103 cristae junctions were measured. For cone pedicles, 32–120 crista junctions were measured. Values sharing the same superscript differed from each other at p<0.05.
