[The reaction of the population of mitochondria in the sensorimotor cortical neurons of rats to the prolonged, continuous action of low-frequency vibration].

The investigations revealed that long term action of vibration causes the following changes: growth of mitochondria size (the appearance of hypertrophied ones) clearing of their matrix, vacuoles formation, destruction of cysts. Similar changes were described in extreme conditions connected with deficiency of energy supply. Reaction of mitochondrial population to the action of vibration is phased and lies in change of relative content of mitochondria with different functional activity (orthodoxal, activated and destroying). General direction of these reorganization is a creation of stable and reactive functional subcellular system.
