Figure 11. Schematic representation of the biophysical and morphological profile of young adult and aged OHCs.

Figure 11

A and B, Schematic representation of the basolateral membrane protein profile and innervation pattern of OHCs from young adult and aged 6N, 6J, C3H and 6N-Repaired mice. Note the reduction in size of OHCs that leads to the reduction in numbers of all the indicated membrane proteins in OHCs. The afferent (blue) and efferent (red) fibres are present at both ages, but become reduced in number in aged OHCs.
