(a, b) Macrograph (a) and Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (b) of the heart. Scale bar: 200 μm (c) H&E staining of the liver, muscle and cerebrum. Scale bar: 200 μm (d) Quantification of the seminiferous tubule diameters (mean ± s.d., n = 5 mice, **P < 0.01). (e-g) Hormone changes upon mtEF4 ablation.
