Changes in the mitochondrial ultrastructure of the SGC in the basal turn of the cochleae. (A) Normal mitochondria surrounding the nucleus of the SGC in the control group. (B) Mitochondria with reduced electron density (arrows) or severe degeneration (*) in the SGC of the D-gal(H) group. Lipofuscin (arrowhead) deposited in the SGC of the D-gal(H) group, indicating structural decay. (C) Lipofuscins (arrowhead) deposited in the SGC of the D-gal(H) group, indicating structural decay. Scale bar=0.5 µm. D-gal, D-galactose; M, mitochondria; N, nucleus; SGC, spiral ganglion cell.
