Acetaldehyde induces abnormal mitochondrial morphology of SH-SY5Y cells. (A) SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to acetaldehyde (500 μM) for 24 h. Cells were stained with MitoTracker Green and examined by a laser confocal microscope. Data are representative images from three independent experiments. Scale bar, 5 μm. (B) The percentages of cells with fragmented, intermediated and tubular mitochondria after control or acetaldehyde-treatment. Data represent mean ± SEM, n = 3. (C) Representative Scattered plots and (D) the average values of aspect ratio and form factor of control and acetaldehyde-treated cells (n = 3). The data shown are representative of three independent experiments with similar results. *p < 0.05 versus control.
