In this communication we reported the fusion of mitochondria of hepatocytes extracted from a rat liver. It was found that fusion occurred at an electric field of 1.56-1.8 kV/cm at room temperature. Further increase in the field strength (greater than 1.8 kV/cm) was accompanied by the breakdown of mitochondria.
