Abstract
Mitochondrial biogenesis and adequate energy production in various organs of mammals are necessary for postnatal adaptation to extrauterine life in an environment with high oxygen content. Even though transgenic mice are frequently used as experimental models, to date, no combined detailed molecular and morphological analysis on the mitochondrial compartment in different lung cell types has been performed during postnatal mouse lung development. In our study, we revealed a significant upregulation of most mitochondrial respiratory complexes at protein and mRNA levels in the lungs of P15 and adult animals in comparison to newborns. The majority of adult animal samples showed the strongest increase, except for succinate dehydrogenase protein (SDHD). Likewise, an increase in mRNA expression for mtDNA transcription machinery genes (Polrmt, Tfam, Tfb1m, and Tfb2m), mitochondrially encoded RNA (mt-Rnr1 and mt-Rnr2), and the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial DNA polymerase (POLG) was observed. The biochemical and molecular results were corroborated by a parallel increase of mitochondrial number, size, cristae number, and complexity, exhibiting heterogeneous patterns in distinct bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells. Taken together, our results suggest a specific adaptation and differential maturation of the mitochondrial compartment according to the metabolic needs of individual cell types during postnatal development of the mouse lung.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the research results of the morphological structure of white laboratory rats' tongue at the macro-, micro-, and ultrastructural levels by scanning, light, and transmission electron microscopy. Results Our results show that the tongue of these rats has a number of unique morphological features that are different from the tongue of other rodents consequently to allow identifying their species-specific features. Conclusions Our findings have shown the features of the tongue structure of white laboratory rats at micro-, macro-, and ultrascopic levels. The data analysis revealed that mucous membrane of the tongue contains a large number of papillae, such as fungiform, filiform, foliate, vallate, and multifilamentary papillae. Each has a different shape, size, and location. The tongue's morphological feature consists of three types of filiform papillae, well-developed foliate and multifilamentary papillae, as well as one large and similar smaller circumvallate papillae. The muscle of the tongue contains a large number of mitochondria of different shapes and sizes. However, we have received data for a complete picture of structure of this organ that will be useful in further experimental and morphological studies of the white laboratory rats.

Abstract
The activity of respiratory chain enzymes in a rat's masseter muscle changes as the animal ages; however, there is little information about the RNA transcript levels of mitochondrial enzymes in klotho mutant mice as they age. We measured the activities of NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase and NADH-O2 oxidoreductase, and the RNA transcript levels of NADH dehydrogenase, the mitochondrial isoform of ND1, the nuclear isoforms of the 51 kDa and 75 kDa subunits of Complex I, the nuclear isoform of cytochrome c, and the mitochondrial isoform of beta subunits of ATPase (Complex V). In addition, we measured the RNA transcript levels of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which are associated with antioxidant proteins. Moreover, we measured ATP concentrations using a luciferin-luciferase assay, and we determined the amount of cytochrome c associated with mitochondria in both klotho mutant mice and wild-type mice. However, the mRNA levels of cytochrome c and Complex V components, the mRNA levels of CAT, SOD, and apoptosis-inducing factor (Aifm), and the protein level of cytochrome c remained constant as klotho mutant mice aged from 5 weeks to 7 weeks. In wild-type mice, these components (except for those of Complex I) increased over time. NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase and NADH-O2 oxidoreductase activities decreased in klotho mutant mice as they aged from 5 weeks to 7 weeks. A few large mitochondria were scattered between myofibrils, and 7-week-old klotho mutant mice displayed an increased number of irregular mitochondria with fewer cristae. Our results indicate that the klotho protein plays a role in the diminished functional adaptability of enzymes in the masseter muscle of klotho mutant mice throughout the aging process.

Abstract
In this quantitative study, a competitive RT-PCR analysis was used to measure the level of the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) in rat tongue muscle during the development of male Wistar rats aged 0, 5, 10, 15 and 21 postnatal days. There were differences between the expression of TR-alpha1 mRNA and the mRNAs for TR-beta1 and TR-beta2 in rat tongue muscle. Using Western blot analysis, a difference in expression between TR-alpha1 protein (c-ErbAalpha1 protein) and 43-kD c-ErbAalpha1 protein (T(3)-binding 43-kD mitochondrial protein) was detected during the development of the rat tongue muscle. Immunohistochemical examination using electron microscopy showed that TR-alpha1 was found in the mitochondria and nuclei in contrast to TR-beta1 detected in rat tongue muscle. In mitochondrial fractions from rat tongue muscle, the expression of 43-kD c-ErbAalpha1 protein was increased dramatically at 15 and 21 days, and a similar tendency was seen in cytochrome c proteins using Western blot analysis. We presume that the 43-kD c-ErbAalpha1 protein plays a role in regulating mitochondrial RNA synthesis during the postnatal development of rat tongue. The mRNA and protein myosin heavy chain isoforms of muscle also had a different expression during development. The slow myosin isoform protein was not found from day 10 in contrast to fast myosin isoforms. It is likely that the expression of TR-alpha1 mRNA from the rat tongue muscle may be related to a specific phase in muscle phenotype during the development.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of a change in food consistency on properties of the masseter muscle in 3-week-old rats fed a soft diet for 9 weeks (Group S) and fed a soft diet for 5 weeks followed by a hard diet for 4 weeks (Group S-H). The NADH-O2 oxidoreductase activity, levels of mRNAs transcribed from genes encoding NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I: ND1, 51kDa, and 75kDa) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms and the phenotype of the muscle fibers were measured in the superficial and deep portions of the muscle. In the period from 8 weeks to 12 weeks of age, NADH-O2 oxidoreductase enzyme activity in both the superficial and deep portions of the muscle showed similar patterns in Group S and Group S-H. In contrast, the ND1, 51kDa and 75kDa mRNA levels in the superficial and deep portions of the masseter muscle in the Group S-H were higher than those of Group S in the 12-week-old rats, except for the 51kDa mRNA in the superficial portion of the masseter muscle. MyHC-IIa and MyHC-IId/x mRNA levels in the superficial portion of the masseter muscle were higher in the Group S-H than in the Group S. These observations suggest that short-term feeding stress such as the transition from a soft diet to a hard diet causes changes in oxidative metabolism, in mRNA levels for the Complex I components ND1 and 75kDa, and the mRNA levels for the MyHC isoforms IIa and IId/x in the superficial portion of rat masseter muscle, but no changes in the composition of muscle fiber types.

Abstract
Mitochondrial enzyme activities and ultrastructure of mitochondria prepared from klotho mutant mice were compared with those in wild-type mice. We also measured the levels of expression of ND1, 51kDa, and 75kDa mRNA associated with the genes encoding NADH dehydrogenase and complex I and that of alpha cardiac myosin heavy chain mRNA in both groups. Mitochondrial NADH oxidoreductase activity was higher in klotho mutant mice during aging than that in wild-type mice. The area of mitochondria per unit area (300 microm2) of cell was almost constant from 4 to 7 weeks of age in both groups. A few large mitochondria were scattered between numerous small mitochondria with compact cristae and myofibrils in klotho mice from 5 weeks of age. The levels of ND1 and 75kDa mRNA were slightly high from 7 weeks of age in klotho mutant mice, whereas they were almost constant in wild-type mice, in spite of reduced expression of alpha cardiac myosin heavy chain mRNA. Our results indicate that klotho protein indirectly plays a role in diminished functional adaptability of enzymes in aged heart muscle, and is required for hypertrophy of cardiac mitochondria.
