cellular
• almost all mesencephalic glial cell types exhibit a higher number of structurally altered mitochondria, showing disintegration and reduction of mitochondrial cristae, mitochondrial enlargement and formation of protrusions or disruption of the outer membrane
• mitochondrial damage is noticeable at 16 days of age in all mesencephalic cell types and increases 4-8 fold in the next few weeks
• mitochondrial alterations are higher in oligodendrocytes than in astrocytes or microglia

nervous system
• almost all mesencephalic glial cell types exhibit a higher number of structurally altered mitochondria
• mitochondrial alterations are higher in oligodendrocytes than in astrocytes or microglia
• mesencephalic glial cells exhibit a higher (2.5-7-fold) percentage of damaged mitochondria than in mesencephalic neurons at 3 and 12-15 months of age
