Preferred Label : mitochondria, liver;
MeSH definition : Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and
an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the
internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion,
an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix. (From
Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p343-4);
