PZI combined with Se improved the mitochondrial dynamics.

(A) Representative pictures of the mitochondria in each group. The black arrows show the mitochondria in skeletal muscle. Scale bar: 500 nm. (B) Area of an individual mitochondrion. (C) Mitochondrial area/100 μm2. (D) Number of mitochondria/10 μm2. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6). **P < 0.01 vs. the control group, #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. the model group. Model: diabetic group; PZI + Se (L): PZI (50 U/kg/d) + Se (100 μg/kg/d); PZI + Se (H): PZI (100 U/kg/d) + Se (200 μg/kg/d).
