This paper describes a special form of mitochondria which has been observed using the electron microscope in certain astrocytes of the Syrian hamster brain. The interior structural pattern of these mitochondria is characterized by the presence of numerous equilateral prismatic tubules in a highly regular hexagonal arrangement, instead of the customary foliate cristae. Such mitochondria have been designated as "prismatic type," in contradistinction to the more usually encountered crista and tubular types. The findings are compared with the occasional similar findings reported in the literature, and their possible functional meaning is briefly discussed.
本文描述了一种特殊形式的线粒体,它是在叙利亚仓鼠脑的某些星形胶质细胞中通过电子显微镜观察到的。这些线粒体的内部结构模式的特征是存在大量呈高度规则六边形排列的等边棱柱形小管,而不是通常的板层嵴。这种线粒体被指定为“棱柱型”,与更常见的嵴型和管状型线粒体形成对比。将这些发现与文献中偶尔报道的类似发现进行了比较,并简要讨论了它们可能的功能意义。
