Electron micrographs of PBMCs showing mitochondria in a MHNO, b MHO and c MADO groups. Mitochondria are represented by white arrows. Magnification: ×8000, Scale bar: 500 nm. MHNO and MHO groups displayed healthy mitochondria, which are larger in size, elliptical/oval in shape with well-preserved cristae, while MADO patients showed smaller and fragmented mitochondria. d Bar diagram displaying the percentage of damaged mitochondria in the respective study groups. Data expressed as mean ± SD  (n = 3 each), (* = vs. MHNO), (# = vs. MHO), ***p < 0.001, ###p < 0.01)
