| Abstract | Rhodamine 123, a fluorescent laser dye that is selectively taken up into mitochondria of living cells, was used to examine mitochondrial morphology in early-passage (young), late-passage (old), and progeric human fibroblasts. Mitochondria were readily visualized in all cell types during growth (mid-log) and confluent stages. In all cell strains at confluence, mitochondria became shorter, more randomly aligned, and developed a higher proportion of bead-like forms. Treatment of cells for six days with Tevenel, a chloramphenicol analog that inhibits mitochondrial protein synthesis, brought about a marked depletion of mitochondria and a diffuse background fluorescence. Cyanide produced a rapid release of preloaded mitochondrial fluorescence followed by detachment and killing of cells. Colcemid caused a random coiling and fragmentation of mitochondria particularly in the confluent stage. No gross differences were discernible in mitochondria of the three cell strains in mid-log and confluent states or after these treatments. Butanol-extractable fluorescence after loading with rhodamine 123 was lower in all cell strains in confluent compared to mid-log stages. At confluence all three cell strains had similar rhodamine contents at zero-time and after washout up to 24 h. At the mid-log stage, young cells contained more rhodamine initially and lost it more rapidly than old or progeria cells, in that order. The data indicate no gross derangement in the morphology or number of mitochondria in old and progeria fibroblasts but there is a reduction of protonmotive force evident in these cells at the mid-log stage that may be growth limiting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
